NAME

       axfrdns-conf - sets up a DNS zone-transfer service.

SYNOPSIS

       axfrdns-conf acct logacct D tiny ip

DESCRIPTION

       axfrdns-conf  creates  a service directory D that runs axfrdns(8) under
       tcpserver(1).  The name D must start with a slash and must not  contain
       any special characters.  Normally D is /etc/axfrdns.

       You  can run the service under svscan(8) by using the update-service(8)
       program on Debian GNU/Linux

       update-service --add D

       or by creating a symbolic link in  the  svscan(8)  directory  (normally
       /service or /etc/service), e.g.:

       ln -s D /service

       The  service will start within five seconds, and will be restarted upon
       reboot.  You can use svc(8) to control the service.

       axfrdns-conf arranges for tcpserver(1) to listen for TCP connections on
       port  53  of  ip.   It  sets  up D/tcp in tcprules(1) format to control
       access to axfrdns(8); initially all access is denied.  It also sets  up
       D/Makefile to compile tcp into tcp.cdb for tcpserver(1).

       axfrdns-conf  arranges for axfrdns(8) to chroot to tiny/root and to run
       under the uid and gid of acct.  The name tiny must start with  a  slash
       and   must   not   contain  any  special  characters;  normally  it  is
       /etc/tinydns.  The name acct must not contain any special characters.

       axfrdns-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.
