NAME

       krfcheck - Check a DNSSEC-Tools keyrec file for problems and inconsistencies

SYNOPSIS

         krfcheck [-zone | -set | -key] [-count] [-quiet]
                  [-verbose] [-Version] [-help] keyrec-file

DESCRIPTION

This script checks a keyrec file for problems, potential problems, and inconsistencies.

Recognized problems include:

• no zones defined

The keyrec file does not contain any zone keyrecs.

• no sets defined

The keyrec file does not contain any set keyrecs.

• no keys defined

The keyrec file does not contain any key keyrecs.

• unknown zone keyrecs

A set keyrec or a key keyrec references a non-existent zone keyrec.

• missing key from zone keyrec

A zone keyrec does not have both a KSK key and a ZSK key.

• missing key from set keyrec

A key listed in a set keyrec does not have a key keyrec.

• expired zone keyrecs

A zone has expired.

• mislabeled key

A key is labeled as a KSK (or ZSK) and its owner zone has it labeled as the opposite.

• invalid zone data values

A zone's keyrec data are checked to ensure that they are valid. The following
conditions are checked: existence of the zone file, existence of the KSK file,
existence of the KSK and ZSK directories, the end-time is greater than one day, and
the seconds-count and date string match.

• invalid key data values

A key's keyrec data are checked to ensure that they are valid. The following
conditions are checked: valid encryption algorithm, key length falls within
algorithm's size range, random generator file exists, and the seconds-count and date
string match.

Recognized potential problems include:

• imminent zone expiration

A zone will expire within one week.

• odd zone-signing date

A zone's recorded signing date is later than the current system clock.

• orphaned keys

A key keyrec is unreferenced by any set keyrec.

• missing key directories

A zone keyrec's key directories (kskdirectory or zskdirectory) does not exist.

Recognized inconsistencies include:

• key-specific fields in a zone keyrec

A zone keyrec contains key-specific entries. To allow for site-specific
extensibility, krfcheck does not check for undefined keyrec fields.

• zone-specific fields in a key keyrec

A key keyrec contains zone-specific entries. To allow for site-specific
extensibility, krfcheck does not check for undefined keyrec fields.

• mismatched zone timestamp

A zone's seconds-count timestamp does not match its textual timestamp.

• mismatched set timestamp

A set's seconds-count timestamp does not match its textual timestamp.

• mismatched key timestamp

A key's seconds-count timestamp does not match its textual timestamp.

OPTIONS

       -zone
           Only perform checks of zone keyrecs.  This option may not be combined with the -set or
           -key options.

       -set
           Only perform checks of set keyrecs.  This option may not be combined with the -zone or
           -key options.

       -key
           Only perform checks of key keyrecs.  This option may not be combined with the -set or
           -zone options.

       -count
           Display a final count of errors.

       -quiet
           Do not display messages.  This option supersedes the setting of the -verbose option.

       -verbose
           Display many messages.  This option is subordinate to the -quiet option.

       -Version
           Displays the version information for krfcheck and the DNSSEC-Tools package.

       -help
           Display a usage message.
