TSIG key generation tool
Synopsis
Description
tsig-keygen is an utility that generates keys for use in TSIG signing. The resulting keys can be used, for example, to secure dynamic DNS updates to a zone, or for the rndc command channel.
A domain name can be specified on the command line to be used as the name of the generated key. If no name is specified, the default is tsig-key.
