keyarch(1) DNSSEC-Tools daemon to archive old KSK and ZSK keys

SYNOPSIS


keyarch [options] <keyrec_file | rollrec_file>

DESCRIPTION

The keyarch program archives old KSK and ZSK keys. Keys are considered old if they are revoked or obsolete. Keys marked as either kskrev or zskrev are revoked; keys marked as either kskobs or zskobs are obsolete. Archived keys are prefixed with the seconds-since-epoch as a means of distinguishing a zone's keys that have the same five digit number.

If the required file argument is a keyrec file, then expired keys listed in that file are archived. If the file argument is a rollrec file, the keyrec files of the zones in that file are checked for expired keys.

If the -zone option is given, then only revoked and obsolete keys belonging to the specified zone will be archived.

The archive directory is either zone-specific (listed in the zone's keyrec record in the zone's keyrec file) or the default archive directory given in the DNSSEC-Tools configuration file.

The count of archived keys is given as the program's exit code. Error exit codes are negative.

OPTIONS

The following options are recognized:
-zone zone_file
Name of the zone whose KSKs will be archived. If this is not given, then all the zones defined in the rollrec file will be checked.

-dtconfig config_file
