Doug Barton 5143adb549 Update to BIND 9.6.3, the latest from ISC on the 9.6 branch.
All 9.6 users with DNSSEC validation enabled should upgrade to this
version, or the latest version in the 9.7 branch, prior to 2011-03-31
in order to avoid validation failures for names in .COM as described
here:

https://www.isc.org/announcement/bind-9-dnssec-validation-fails-new-ds-record

In addition the fixes for this and other bugs, there are also the
following:

  * Various fixes to kerberos support, including GSS-TSIG
  * Various fixes to avoid leaking memory, and to problems that could
    prevent a clean shutdown of named

<a name="id2543416"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p><span><strong class="command">dnssec-keyfromlabel</strong></span>
gets keys with the given label from a crypto hardware and builds
key files for DNSSEC (Secure DNS), as defined in RFC 2535
and RFC 4034.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id2543428"></a><h2>OPTIONS</h2>
<div class="variablelist"><dl>
<dt><span class="term">-a <em class="replaceable"><code>algorithm</code></em></span></dt>
<dd>
<p>
Selects the cryptographic algorithm. The value of
<code class="option">algorithm</code> must be one of RSAMD5,
RSASHA1, DSA, NSEC3RSASHA1, NSEC3DSA, RSASHA256,
RSASHA512 or DH (Diffie Hellman).
These values are case insensitive.
</p>
<p>
If no algorithm is specified, then RSASHA1 will be used by
default, unless the <code class="option">-3</code> option is specified,
in which case NSEC3RSASHA1 will be used instead. (If
<code class="option">-3</code> is used and an algorithm is specified,
that algorithm will be checked for compatibility with NSEC3.)
</p>
<p>
Note 1: that for DNSSEC, RSASHA1 is a mandatory to implement
algorithm, and DSA is recommended.
</p>
<p>
Note 2: DH automatically sets the -k flag.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><span class="term">-l <em class="replaceable"><code>label</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Specifies the label of keys in the crypto hardware
(PKCS#11 device).
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-n <em class="replaceable"><code>nametype</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Specifies the owner type of the key. The value of
<code class="option">nametype</code> must either be ZONE (for a DNSSEC
zone key (KEY/DNSKEY)), HOST or ENTITY (for a key associated with
a host (KEY)),
USER (for a key associated with a user(KEY)) or OTHER (DNSKEY).
These values are
case insensitive.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-c <em class="replaceable"><code>class</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Indicates that the DNS record containing the key should have
the specified class. If not specified, class IN is used.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-f <em class="replaceable"><code>flag</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Set the specified flag in the flag field of the KEY/DNSKEY record.
The only recognized flag is KSK (Key Signing Key) DNSKEY.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-h</span></dt>
<dd><p>
Prints a short summary of the options and arguments to
<span><strong class="command">dnssec-keygen</strong></span>.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-k</span></dt>
<dd><p>
Generate KEY records rather than DNSKEY records.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-p <em class="replaceable"><code>protocol</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the protocol value for the generated key. The protocol
is a number between 0 and 255. The default is 3 (DNSSEC).
Other possible values for this argument are listed in
RFC 2535 and its successors.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-t <em class="replaceable"><code>type</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Indicates the use of the key. <code class="option">type</code> must be
one of AUTHCONF, NOAUTHCONF, NOAUTH, or NOCONF. The default
is AUTHCONF. AUTH refers to the ability to authenticate
data, and CONF the ability to encrypt data.
</p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">-v <em class="replaceable"><code>level</code></em></span></dt>
<dd><p>
Sets the debugging level.

<a name="id2543632"></a><h2>GENERATED KEY FILES</h2>
<p>
When <span><strong class="command">dnssec-keyfromlabel</strong></span> completes
successfully,
it prints a string of the form <code class="filename">Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii</code>
to the standard output. This is an identification string for
the key files it has generated.
</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc">
<li><p><code class="filename">nnnn</code> is the key name.
</p></li>
<li><p><code class="filename">aaa</code> is the numeric representation
of the
algorithm.
</p></li>
<li><p><code class="filename">iiiii</code> is the key identifier (or
footprint).
</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p><span><strong class="command">dnssec-keyfromlabel</strong></span>
creates two files, with names based
on the printed string. <code class="filename">Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii.key</code>
contains the public key, and
<code class="filename">Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii.private</code> contains the
private
key.
</p>
<p>
The <code class="filename">.key</code> file contains a DNS KEY record
that
can be inserted into a zone file (directly or with a $INCLUDE
statement).
</p>
<p>
The <code class="filename">.private</code> file contains algorithm
specific
fields. For obvious security reasons, this file does not have
general read permission.
