DNSSEC-SIGNZONE(8)		     BIND9		    DNSSEC-SIGNZONE(8)

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.
