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



NAME
       walldns-conf - sets up a DNS wall service.


SYNOPSIS
       walldns-conf acct logacct D ip


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

       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.

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

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

       walldns-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.
