xenial (8) axfrdns-conf.8.gz

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.
