83    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
84    <para><command>nsupdate</command>
85      is used to submit Dynamic DNS Update requests as defined in RFC 2136
86      to a name server.
87      This allows resource records to be added or removed from a zone
88      without manually editing the zone file.
89      A single update request can contain requests to add or remove more than
90      one
91      resource record.
92    </para>
93    <para>
94      Zones that are under dynamic control via
95      <command>nsupdate</command>
96      or a DHCP server should not be edited by hand.
97      Manual edits could
98      conflict with dynamic updates and cause data to be lost.
99    </para>
100    <para>
101      The resource records that are dynamically added or removed with
102      <command>nsupdate</command>
103      have to be in the same zone.
104      Requests are sent to the zone's master server.
105      This is identified by the MNAME field of the zone's SOA record.
106    </para>
107    <para>
108      The
109      <option>-d</option>
110      option makes
111      <command>nsupdate</command>
112      operate in debug mode.
113      This provides tracing information about the update requests that are
114      made and the replies received from the name server.
115    </para>
116    <para>
117      The <option>-D</option> option makes <command>nsupdate</command>
118      report additional debugging information to <option>-d</option>.
119    </para>
120    <para>
121      The <option>-L</option> option with an integer argument of zero or
122      higher sets the logging debug level.  If zero, logging is disabled.
123    </para>
124    <para>
125      Transaction signatures can be used to authenticate the Dynamic
126      DNS updates.  These use the TSIG resource record type described
127      in RFC 2845 or the SIG(0) record described in RFC 2535 and
128      RFC 2931 or GSS-TSIG as described in RFC 3645.  TSIG relies on
129      a shared secret that should only be known to
130      <command>nsupdate</command> and the name server.  Currently,
131      the only supported encryption algorithm for TSIG is HMAC-MD5,
132      which is defined in RFC 2104.  Once other algorithms are
133      defined for TSIG, applications will need to ensure they select
134      the appropriate algorithm as well as the key when authenticating
135      each other.  For instance, suitable <type>key</type> and
136      <type>server</type> statements would be added to
137      <filename>/etc/named.conf</filename> so that the name server
138      can associate the appropriate secret key and algorithm with
139      the IP address of the client application that will be using
140      TSIG authentication.  SIG(0) uses public key cryptography.
141      To use a SIG(0) key, the public key must be stored in a KEY
142      record in a zone served by the name server.
143      <command>nsupdate</command> does not read
144      <filename>/etc/named.conf</filename>.
145    </para>
146    <para>
147      GSS-TSIG uses Kerberos credentials.  Standard GSS-TSIG mode
148      is switched on with the <option>-g</option> flag.  A
149      non-standards-compliant variant of GSS-TSIG used by Windows
150      2000 can be switched on with the <option>-o</option> flag.
151    </para>
152    <para><command>nsupdate</command>
153      uses the <option>-y</option> or <option>-k</option> option
154      to provide the shared secret needed to generate a TSIG record
155      for authenticating Dynamic DNS update requests, default type
156      HMAC-MD5.  These options are mutually exclusive.
157    </para>
158    <para>
159      When the <option>-y</option> option is used, a signature is
160      generated from
161      <optional><parameter>hmac:</parameter></optional><parameter>keyname:secret.</parameter>
162      <parameter>keyname</parameter> is the name of the key, and
163      <parameter>secret</parameter> is the base64 encoded shared secret.
164      <parameter>hmac</parameter> is the name of the key algorithm;
165      valid choices are <literal>hmac-md5</literal>,
166      <literal>hmac-sha1</literal>, <literal>hmac-sha224</literal>,
167      <literal>hmac-sha256</literal>, <literal>hmac-sha384</literal>, or
168      <literal>hmac-sha512</literal>.  If <parameter>hmac</parameter>
169      is not specified, the default is <literal>hmac-md5</literal>.
170      NOTE: Use of the <option>-y</option> option is discouraged because the
171      shared secret is supplied as a command line argument in clear text.
172      This may be visible in the output from
173      <citerefentry>
174        <refentrytitle>ps</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum>
175      </citerefentry>
176      or in a history file maintained by the user's shell.
177    </para>
178    <para>
179      With the
180      <option>-k</option> option, <command>nsupdate</command> reads
181      the shared secret from the file <parameter>keyfile</parameter>.
182      Keyfiles may be in two formats: a single file containing
183      a <filename>named.conf</filename>-format <command>key</command>
184      statement, which may be generated automatically by
185      <command>ddns-confgen</command>, or a pair of files whose names are
186      of the format <filename>K{name}.+157.+{random}.key</filename> and
187      <filename>K{name}.+157.+{random}.private</filename>, which can be
188      generated by <command>dnssec-keygen</command>.
189      The <option>-k</option> may also be used to specify a SIG(0) key used
190      to authenticate Dynamic DNS update requests.  In this case, the key
191      specified is not an HMAC-MD5 key.
192    </para>
193    <para>
194      <command>nsupdate</command> can be run in a local-host only mode
195      using the <option>-l</option> flag.  This sets the server address to
196      localhost (disabling the <command>server</command> so that the server
197      address cannot be overridden).  Connections to the local server will
198      use a TSIG key found in <filename>/var/run/named/session.key</filename>,
199      which is automatically generated by <command>named</command> if any
200      local master zone has set <command>update-policy</command> to
201      <command>local</command>.  The location of this key file can be
202      overridden with the <option>-k</option> option.
203    </para>
204    <para>
205      By default, <command>nsupdate</command>
206      uses UDP to send update requests to the name server unless they are too
207      large to fit in a UDP request in which case TCP will be used.
208      The
209      <option>-v</option>
210      option makes
211      <command>nsupdate</command>
212      use a TCP connection.
213      This may be preferable when a batch of update requests is made.
214    </para>
215    <para>
216      The <option>-p</option> sets the default port number to use for
217      connections to a name server.  The default is 53.
218    </para>
219    <para>
220      The <option>-t</option> option sets the maximum time an update request
221      can
222      take before it is aborted.  The default is 300 seconds.  Zero can be
223      used
224      to disable the timeout.
225    </para>
226    <para>
227      The <option>-u</option> option sets the UDP retry interval.  The default
228      is
229      3 seconds.  If zero, the interval will be computed from the timeout
230      interval
231      and number of UDP retries.
232    </para>
233    <para>
234      The <option>-r</option> option sets the number of UDP retries. The
235      default is
236      3.  If zero, only one update request will be made.
237    </para>
238    <para>
239      The <option>-R <replaceable
240      class="parameter">randomdev</replaceable></option> option
241      specifies a source of randomness.  If the operating system
242      does not provide a <filename>/dev/random</filename> or
243      equivalent device, the default source of randomness is keyboard
244      input.  <filename>randomdev</filename> specifies the name of
245      a character device or file containing random data to be used
246      instead of the default.  The special value
247      <filename>keyboard</filename> indicates that keyboard input
248      should be used.  This option may be specified multiple times.
249    </para>
250    <para>
251      Other types can be entered using "TYPEXXXXX" where "XXXXX" is the
252      decimal value of the type with no leading zeros.  The rdata,
253      if present, will be parsed using the UNKNOWN rdata format,
254      (&lt;backslash&gt; &lt;hash&gt; &lt;space&gt; &lt;length&gt;
255      &lt;space&gt; &lt;hexstring&gt;).
256    </para>
257    <para>
258      The <option>-T</option> and <option>-P</option> options print out
259      lists of non-meta types for which the type-specific presentation
260      formats are known.  <option>-T</option> prints out the list of
261      IANA-assigned types.  <option>-P</option> prints out the list of
262      private types specific to <command>named</command>.  These options
263      may be combined.  <command>nsupdate</command> will exit after the
264      lists are printed.
265    </para>
266    <para>
267      The -V option causes <command>nsupdate</command> to print the
268      version number and exit.
269    </para>
270  </refsect1>
271
272  <refsect1>
273    <title>INPUT FORMAT</title>
274    <para><command>nsupdate</command>
275      reads input from
276      <parameter>filename</parameter>
277      or standard input.
278      Each command is supplied on exactly one line of input.
279      Some commands are for administrative purposes.
280      The others are either update instructions or prerequisite checks on the
281      contents of the zone.
282      These checks set conditions that some name or set of
283      resource records (RRset) either exists or is absent from the zone.
284      These conditions must be met if the entire update request is to succeed.
285      Updates will be rejected if the tests for the prerequisite conditions
286      fail.
287    </para>
288    <para>
289      Every update request consists of zero or more prerequisites
290      and zero or more updates.
291      This allows a suitably authenticated update request to proceed if some
292      specified resource records are present or missing from the zone.
293      A blank input line (or the <command>send</command> command)
294      causes the
295      accumulated commands to be sent as one Dynamic DNS update request to the
296      name server.
297    </para>
298    <para>
299      The command formats and their meaning are as follows:

321              where the dynamic update requests get sent.
322              If no port number is specified, the default DNS port number of
323              53 is

690    <para>
691      The examples below show how
692      <command>nsupdate</command>
693      could be used to insert and delete resource records from the
694      <type>example.com</type>
695      zone.
696      Notice that the input in each example contains a trailing blank line so
697      that
698      a group of commands are sent as one dynamic update request to the
699      master name server for
700      <type>example.com</type>.

702      <programlisting>
703# nsupdate

706&gt; send
707</programlisting>
708    </para>
709    <para>
710      Any A records for
711      <type>oldhost.example.com</type>
712      are deleted.
713      And an A record for
714      <type>newhost.example.com</type>
715      with IP address 172.16.1.1 is added.
716      The newly-added record has a 1 day TTL (86400 seconds).
717      <programlisting>
718# nsupdate
719&gt; prereq nxdomain nickname.example.com
720&gt; update add nickname.example.com 86400 CNAME somehost.example.com
721&gt; send
722</programlisting>
723    </para>
724    <para>
725      The prerequisite condition gets the name server to check that there
726      are no resource records of any type for
727      <type>nickname.example.com</type>.
728
729      If there are, the update request fails.
730      If this name does not exist, a CNAME for it is added.
731      This ensures that when the CNAME is added, it cannot conflict with the
732      long-standing rule in RFC 1034 that a name must not exist as any other
733      record type if it exists as a CNAME.
734      (The rule has been updated for DNSSEC in RFC 2535 to allow CNAMEs to have
735      RRSIG, DNSKEY and NSEC records.)
