.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
\fBldns-keygen\fR is used to generate a private/public keypair. When run, it
|
||
|
|
will create 3 files; a .key file with the public DNSKEY, a .private
|
||
|
|
file with the private keydata and a .ds with the DS record of the
|
||
|
|
DNSKEY record.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It prints out the basename for these files: K<name>+<alg>+<id>

\fB-a \fI<algorithm>\fR
|
||
|
|
Create a key with this algorithm. Specifying 'list' here gives a list of supported algorithms.
|
||
|
|
Several alias names are also accepted (from older versions and other software),
|
||
|
|
the list gives names from the RFC. Also the plain algo number is accepted.

.TP
|

|
|
\fB-k\fR
|
||
|
|
When given, generate a key signing key. This just sets the flag field to
|
||
|
|
257 instead of 256 in the DNSKEY RR in the .key file.

default to /dev/random.
