axfrdns-conf(8)                      System Manager's Manual                      axfrdns-conf(8)



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/ser‐
       vice), 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 char‐
       acters; normally it is /etc/tinydns.  The name acct must not contain any  special  charac‐
       ters.

       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.
