SYNOPSIS
yadifa [-s host] [-V] [-h] [-t command] [-q zone]
DESCRIPTION
yadifa controls the operation of yadifad.
yadifa communicates with a name server over a TCP connection. The protocol used between client - server is an extension of the DNS protocol. The authentication is done by a mutual key between client and server. This key has the same format as a TSIG. Authentication is not needed, but provides more secure communication if used.
Several algorithms can be used for creating a TSIG:
- *
- HMAC-MD5
- *
- HMAC-SHA1
