SYNOPSIS

9       yadifa  [--config|-c  configfile]  [-s  host]  [@host  ]  [-K key-name]

DESCRIPTION

13       yadifa controls the operation of yadifad.
14
15       yadifa communicates with a name server over a TCP connection. The  pro‐
16       tocol used between client - server is an extension of the DNS protocol.
17       The authentication is done by a mutual key between client  and  server.
18       This  key  has the same format as a TSIG. Authentication is not needed,
19       but provides more secure communication if used.
20
21       Several algorithms can be used for creating a TSIG:
22
23       *      HMAC-MD5
24
25       *      HMAC-SHA1
26

33              port: e.g.: ./yadifa --server "192.0.2.1 port 5353"
