NAME

axfrdns-conf - sets up a DNS zone-transfer service.

SYNOPSIS

axfrdns-conf acct logacct D tiny ip

DESCRIPTION

axfrdns-conf creates a service directory D that runs axfrdns (8) under tcpserver (1). The name D must start with a slash and must not contain any special characters. Normally D is /etc/axfrdns .

You can run the service under svscan (8) by using the update-service (8) program on Debian GNU/Linux

update-service --add D

or by creating a symbolic link in the svscan (8) directory (normally /service or /etc/service), e.g.:

ln -s D /service

The service will start within five seconds, and will be restarted upon reboot. You can use svc (8) to control the service.

axfrdns-conf arranges for tcpserver (1) to listen for TCP connections on port 53 of ip . It sets up D /tcp in tcprules (1) format to control access to axfrdns (8); initially all access is denied. It also sets up D /Makefile to compile tcp into tcp.cdb for tcpserver (1).

axfrdns-conf arranges for axfrdns (8) to chroot to tiny /root and to run under the uid and gid of acct . The name tiny must start with a slash and must not contain any special characters; normally it is /etc/tinydns . The name acct must not contain any special characters.

axfrdns-conf creates an automatically rotated log directory in D /log/main. The logs are owned by logacct . The corresponding multilog (8) processes run under the uid and gid of logacct . The name logacct must not contain any special characters.
