-rndc.conf \- rndc configuration file
+.SH SYNOPSIS
.sp
\fBrndc.conf\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
\fBrndc.conf\fP is the configuration file for \fBrndc\fP, the BIND 9 name
server control utility. This file has a similar structure and syntax to
used to generate a base\-64 string from known input. \fBmmencode\fP does
not ship with BIND 9 but is available on many systems. See the EXAMPLE
section for sample command lines for each.
+.SH EXAMPLE
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
To generate a base\-64 secret with \fBmmencode\fP:
.sp
\fBecho "known plaintext for a secret" | mmencode\fP
+.SH NAME SERVER CONFIGURATION
.sp
The name server must be configured to accept rndc connections and to
recognize the key specified in the \fBrndc.conf\fP file, using the
controls statement in \fBnamed.conf\fP\&. See the sections on the
\fBcontrols\fP statement in the BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual for
details.
