running a DNS server (http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/run-server.html). tinydns-conf creates a service directory D that runs tinydns (8).

You can use svc (8) to control the service. tinydns-conf arranges for tinydns (8) to chroot to D /root and to run under the uid and gid of acct . The name acct must not contain any special characters. tinydns-conf creates D /root/Makefile to run tinydns-data (8) upon request. tinydns-conf arranges for tinydns (8) to listen for UDP packets on port 53 of ip , and to send outgoing packets from ip . tinydns-conf creates an automatically rotated log directory in D /log/main. The logs are owned by logacct . The corresponding multilog (8) processes run under the uid and gid of logacct . The name logacct must not contain any special characters.
