37.PP
38\fBddns\-confgen\fR
39generates a key for use by
40\fBnsupdate\fR
41and
42\fBnamed\fR. It simplifies configuration of dynamic zones by generating a key and providing the
43\fBnsupdate\fR
44and
45\fBnamed.conf\fR
46syntax that will be needed to use it, including an example
47\fBupdate\-policy\fR
48statement.
49.PP
50If a domain name is specified on the command line, it will be used in the name of the generated key and in the sample
51\fBnamed.conf\fR
52syntax. For example,
53\fBddns\-confgen example.com\fR
54would generate a key called "ddns\-key.example.com", and sample
55\fBnamed.conf\fR
56command that could be used in the zone definition for "example.com".
57.PP
58Note that
59\fBnamed\fR
60itself can configure a local DDNS key for use with
61\fBnsupdate \-l\fR.
62\fBddns\-confgen\fR
63is only needed when a more elaborate configuration is required: for instance, if
64\fBnsupdate\fR
65is to be used from a remote system.
66.SH "OPTIONS"

68\-a \fIalgorithm\fR

81Specifies the key name of the DDNS authentication key. The default is

101Specifies a source of random data for generating the authorization. If the operating system does not provide a
102\fI/dev/random\fR
103or equivalent device, the default source of randomness is keyboard input.
104\fIrandomdev\fR
105specifies the name of a character device or file containing random data to be used instead of the default. The special value
106\fIkeyboard\fR
107indicates that keyboard input should be used.
