Greetings,
How do I proceed with generating a key entry for DNS and DHCP so that DHCP will be allowed to update DNS??
I have tried the option include "/etc/rndc.key" but no luck! :{
dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-MD5 -b 128 -n USER rndc.key
I use "-b 512" personally
Thanks for the answer David,
Just one problem: How do I set it up?
I have read tone of dhcpd and named.conf Q&A.
Yet I just get denied when the client tries to update dns,
It's not the client that is supposed to update DNS it is the DHCP server process that sends an update to the DNS server process.
If I do an nsupdate -y keyname:khjjkjd The named accepts the update and puts it into the zone file. So I have correctly setup the key on the DNS side using rndc.key.
I suppose what I am trying to say is that I am confused with SuSE10, as none of the documentation seems to be on par with they way SuSE 10 is structured.
How do you suggest I proceed?
TIA
Chadley
I had DDNS set up at work (I am now retired) and DNS was being updated by a dhcp process running on a linux server and from a dhcp process running on a MS server. At least this is the way I remember it working.
