NAME
dnssec-signzone - DNSSEC zone signing tool
SYNOPSIS
dnssec-signzone [-a] [-c class] [-d directory] [-e end-time]
[-f output-file] [-g] [-h] [-k key] [-l domain]
[-i interval] [-n nthreads] [-o origin] [-p]
[-r randomdev] [-s start-time] [-t] [-v level] [-z]
{zonefile} [key...]
DESCRIPTION
dnssec-signzone signs a zone. It generates NSEC and RRSIG records and
produces a signed version of the zone. The security status of
delegations from the signed zone (that is, whether the child zones are
secure or not) is determined by the presence or absence of a keyset
file for each child zone.
OPTIONS
-a Verify all generated signatures.
-c class
Specifies the DNS class of the zone.
-k key
Treat specified key as a key signing key ignoring any key flags.
This option may be specified multiple times.
-l domain
Generate a DLV set in addition to the key (DNSKEY) and DS sets. The
domain is appended to the name of the records.
-d directory
Look for keyset files in directory as the directory
-D directory
Look for zone signing keys in directory as the directory
-g Generate DS records for child zones from keyset files. Existing DS
records will be removed.
-s start-time
Specify the date and time when the generated RRSIG records become
valid. This can be either an absolute or relative time. An absolute
start time is indicated by a number in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation;
20000530144500 denotes 14:45:00 UTC on May 30th, 2000. A relative
start time is indicated by +N, which is N seconds from the current
time. If no start-time is specified, the current time minus 1 hour
(to allow for clock skew) is used.
-e end-time
Specify the date and time when the generated RRSIG records expire.
As with start-time, an absolute time is indicated in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS
notation. A time relative to the start time is indicated with +N,
which is N seconds from the start time. A time relative to the
current time is indicated with now+N. If no end-time is specified,
30 days from the start time is used as a default.
-f output-file
The name of the output file containing the signed zone. The default
is to append .signed to the input file.
-h Prints a short summary of the options and arguments to
dnssec-signzone.
-i interval
When a previously signed zone is passed as input, records may be
resigned. The interval option specifies the cycle interval as an
offset from the current time (in seconds). If a RRSIG record expires
after the cycle interval, it is retained. Otherwise, it is
considered to be expiring soon, and it will be replaced.
The default cycle interval is one quarter of the difference between
the signature end and start times. So if neither end-time or
start-time are specified, dnssec-signzone generates signatures that
are valid for 30 days, with a cycle interval of 7.5 days. Therefore,
if any existing RRSIG records are due to expire in less than 7.5
days, they would be replaced.
-n ncpus
Specifies the number of threads to use. By default, one thread is
started for each detected CPU.
-o origin
The zone origin. If not specified, the name of the zone file is
assumed to be the origin.
-p Use pseudo-random data when signing the zone. This is faster, but
less secure, than using real random data. This option may be useful
when signing large zones or when the entropy source is limited.
-r randomdev
Specifies the source of randomness. If the operating system does not
provide a /dev/random or equivalent device, the default source of
randomness is keyboard input. randomdev specifies the name of a
character device or file containing random data to be used instead
of the default. The special value keyboard indicates that keyboard
input should be used.
-t Print statistics at completion.
-v level
Sets the debugging level.
-z Ignore KSK flag on key when determining what to sign.
zonefile
The file containing the zone to be signed.
key
The keys used to sign the zone. If no keys are specified, the
default all zone keys that have private key files in the current
directory.
EXAMPLE
The following command signs the example.com zone with the DSA key
generated in the dnssec-keygen man page. The zone's keys must be in the
zone. If there are keyset files associated with child zones, they must
be in the current directory. example.com, the following command would
be issued:
dnssec-signzone -o example.com db.example.com Kexample.com.+003+26160
The command would print a string of the form:
In this example, dnssec-signzone creates the file
db.example.com.signed. This file should be referenced in a zone
statement in a named.conf file.
