That executable is not part of upstream distribution, we only used it to generate /etc/rndc.key file. That file is now generated with rndc-confgen -a utility and dns-keygen is removed. Fixed in rawhide, I'm not going to fix it in F9. If you want this fixed also in F9 please reopen this bug. Thanks for your report |
Description of problem: The sample file /usr/share/doc/bind-9.5.0/sample/etc/named.conf includes the following section: key ddns_key { algorithm hmac-md5; secret "use /usr/sbin/dns-keygen to generate TSIG keys"; }; However, there is no man page for dns-keygen, and it does not respond to -h or --help options. I suspect it *may* be obsolete now that bind comes with dnssec-keygen. No matter what arguments I give it, it spits out an encrypted string. Talk about secure! (Yeah, I know, it's an MD5 hash, apparently salted.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 9.5.0-29.b2.fc9 Suggested fix: Either 1. Remove dns-keygen from the package, OR 2a. Add a manpage 2b. Add -h/--help options
