force DNS slave zone to retransfer
-
Hi how do I force a slave zone to retransfer? If I run
rndc retransfer <zone name>
it gives me this:rndc: connection to remote host closed
This may indicate that- the remote server is using an older version of the command protocol,
- this host is not authorized to connect,
- the clocks are not synchronized,
- the key signing algorithm is incorrect, or
- the key is invalid.

i think you need the -k options
rndc -k /path/to/rndc.key retransfer <zone name>i have installed it on my 2.5.0-devel just to test it
[2.5.0-DEVELOPMENT][root@pfSense.localdomain]/cf/named/etc/namedb: rndc -k rndc-key zonestatus test.home name: test.home type: master files: /etc/namedb/master/trusted/test.home.DB serial: 2581012914 nodes: 2 last loaded: Thu, 06 Feb 2020 18:23:59 GMT secure: no dynamic: yes frozen: no reconfigurable via modzone: no
the key is inside /cf/named/etc/namedb/rndc.conf
i just copied the key part inside a new file to use it with rndc
the content of my rndc-key iskey "rndc-key" { algorithm hmac-sha256; secret "blablablablablalbalblsablalblablaalbalablabala"; };
