dnssec-makekeyset generates a key set from one
or more keys created by dnssec-keygen. It creates
a file containing a KEY record for each key, and self-signs the key
set with each zone key. The output file is of the form
keyset-nnnn., where nnnn
is the zone name.
OPTIONS
-a
Verify all generated signatures.
-s start-time
Specify the date and time when the generated SIG records
become valid. This can be either an absolute or relative
time. An absolute start time is indicated by a number
in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation; 20000530144500 denotes
14:45:00 UTC on May 30th, 2000. A relative start time is
indicated by +N, which is N seconds from the current time.
If no start-time is specified, the current
time is used.
-e end-time
Specify the date and time when the generated SIG records
expire. As with start-time, an absolute
time is indicated in YYYYMMDDHHMMSS notation. A time relative
to the start time is indicated with +N, which is N seconds from
the start time. A time relative to the current time is
indicated with now+N. If no end-time is
specified, 30 days from the start time is used as a default.
-h
Prints a short summary of the options and arguments to
dnssec-makekeyset.
-p
Use pseudo-random data when signing the zone. This is faster,
but less secure, than using real random data. This option
may be useful when signing large zones or when the entropy
source is limited.
-r randomdev
Specifies the source of randomness. If the operating
system does not provide a /dev/random
or equivalent device, the default source of randomness
is keyboard input. randomdev specifies
the name of a character device or file containing random
data to be used instead of the default. The special value
keyboard indicates that keyboard
input should be used.
-t ttl
Specify the TTL (time to live) of the KEY and SIG records.
The default is 3600 seconds.
-v level
Sets the debugging level.
key
The list of keys to be included in the keyset file. These keys
are expressed in the form Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii
as generated by dnssec-keygen.
EXAMPLE
The following command generates a keyset containing the DSA key for
example.com generated in the
dnssec-keygen man page.
In this example, dnssec-makekeyset creates
the file keyset-example.com.. This file
contains the specified key and a self-generated signature.
The DNS administrator for example.com could
send keyset-example.com. to the DNS
administrator for .com for signing, if the
.com zone is DNSSEC-aware and the administrators of the two zones
have some mechanism for authenticating each other and exchanging
the keys and signatures securely.
