- <B
-CLASS="COMMAND"

-> is invoked with no command line
- options or arguments, it prints a short summary of the
- supported commands and the available options and their
- arguments.

-> <B
-CLASS="COMMAND"
->rndc</B
-> communicates with the name server
- over a TCP connection, sending commands authenticated with
- digital signatures. In the current versions of
- <B
-CLASS="COMMAND"
->rndc</B
-> and <B
-CLASS="COMMAND"
->named</B
-> named
- the only supported authentication algorithm is HMAC-MD5,
- which uses a shared secret on each end of the connection.
- This provides TSIG-style authentication for the command
- request and the name server's response. All commands sent
- over the channel must be signed by a key_id known to the
- server.
- </P
-><P
-> <B
-CLASS="COMMAND"
->rndc</B
-> reads a configuration file to
- determine how to contact the name server and decide what
- algorithm and key it should use.
