tsig-keygen - TSIG key generation tool
SYNOPSIS
tsig-keygen [-a algorithm] [-h] [name]
DESCRIPTION
tsig-keygen is an utility that generates keys for use with TSIG (Transaction Signatures) as defined in RFC 2845. The resulting keys can be used, for example, to secure dynamic DNS updates to a zone, or for the rndc command channel.
A domain name can be specified on the command line to be used as the name of the generated key. If no name is specified, the default is tsig-key.
