yadifa(8) utility for controlling yadifad(8)

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

OPTIONS
