NAME

       tinydns-conf - sets up a DNS publication service.

SYNOPSIS

       tinydns-conf acct logacct D ip

DESCRIPTION

       This is a reference page.  For tutorial information, see the instructions for
       running a DNS server (http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-server.html).

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

       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.

       tinydns-conf  arranges  for tinydns(8) to chroot to D/root and to run under the uid and gid of acct.  The
       name acct must not contain any special characters.

       tinydns-conf creates D/root/Makefile to run tinydns-data(8) upon request.

       tinydns-conf arranges for tinydns(8) to listen for UDP packets on port 53 of ip,  and  to  send  outgoing
       packets from ip.

       tinydns-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.
