rollinit - Man Page

  rollinit [options] <zonename1> ... <zonenameN>

rollinit creates new rollrec entries for a rollrec file.  This rollrec file will be used by rollerd to manage key rollover for the named zones.

The newly generated rollrec entries are written to standard output, unless the -out option is specified.

A rollrec entry has this format:

    roll "example.com"
        zonename        "example.com"
        zonefile        "example.com.signed"
        keyrec          "example.com.krf"
        zonegroup       "example-zones"
        kskphase        "0"
        zskphase        "0"
        administrator   "bob@bobhost.example.com"
        directory       "/var/dns/zones/example.com"
        loglevel        "phase"
        ksk_rolldate    " "
        ksk_rollsecs    "0"
        zsk_rolldate    " "
        zsk_rollsecs    "0"
        maxttl          "604800"
        display         "1"
        phasestart      "Mon Jan 9 16:00:00 2006"
        # optional records for RFC5011 rolling:
        istrustanchor   "no"
        holddowntime    "60D"

The keywords roll and skip indicate whether rollerd should process or ignore a particular rollrec entry.  roll records are created by default; skip entries are created if the -skip option is specified.

The roll line has a name which is used to distinguish it from all other rollrec entries in the file.  The zonename field is set to the name of the zone.  These two data are often the same, but this is not required. rollinit will set them to the same value, unless the -rollrec option is used.

The zonefile and keyrec fields are set according to command-line options and arguments.  The manner of generating the rollrec's actual values is a little complex and is described in the ZONEFILE And KEYREC FIELDS section below.

The zonegroup field is used to associate a set of rollrecs together, so they can be controlled by a single rollctl -group command.  Multiple zonegroups may be specified in a comma-separated list.  Leading and trailing whitespace will be deleted, but internal whitespace is allowed.  This field is optional and rollinit only sets it if the -zonegroup option is specified.  (While this is using the term "zone", it is actually referring to the name of the rollrec entries.)

The administrator field is set to the email address of the person (or person, if the address is actually a mailing list) considered to be the responsible person for the zone.

The directory field is set to the directory that contains the the files for the zone.  These files include the zone file, the signed zone file, and the keyrec file.

The loglevel field is set to the level of log messages that rollerd should produce for this zone.  The log level includes those messages at a greater priority to the specified level, so a level of "phase" will also include "err" and "fatal" messages.

The kskphase and zskphase fields indicate the rollover phase for the zone's KSK and ZSK keys.  The value 0 indicates that the zone is in normal operation (non-rollover) for that key type.  A non-zero phase (1-7 for KSKs; 1-4 for ZSKs) indicates that the zone is in the process of rolling the keys. Only one of these fields should ever be non-zero at a particular time.  If both are zero, then no rollover operations are taking place.

The ksk_rolldate and ksk_rollsecs fields indicate when KSK rollover started.  If the values are a blank and zero, respectively, then the zone is not in KSK rollover.

The zsk_rolldate and zsk_rollsecs fields indicate when ZSK rollover started.  If the values are a blank and zero, respectively, then the zone is not in ZSK rollover.

The Boolean display field indicates if blinkenlights should display information about this zone.

The maxttl field contains the maximum TTL value from the zone file.

The phasestart fields contains the date that the current rollover phase was entered.

rollrec files also have the zsargs field that holds user-specified options for zonesigner.  This field is set during rollerd execution when the administrator determines that some zone fields should be modified. It is not an initial rollrec field and consequently cannot be specified by rollinit.

The istrustanchor field specifies whether to roll the KSK keys in a manner compliant with any remote validating resolver using the KSK as a trust-anchor.  If set to "yes" then 60 days will be the minimum wait time during phase 3 of KSK rolling to ensure remote validators can properly follow the steps needed as specified by RFC5011.  The 60-day default can be changed via the holddowntime field.

Starting with DNSSEC-Tools version 1.15, each rollrec file should have an info rollrec.  This special rollrec entry contains information about the rollrec file itself and does not contain any zone information.  Its contents should not be modified by anything but the DNSSEC-Tools utilities.

The zonefile and keyrec fields may be given by using the -zonefile and -keyrec options, or default values may be used.

The default values use the rollrec's zone name, taken from the command line, as a base.  .signed is appended to the zone name for the zone file; .krf is appended to the zone name for the keyrec file.

If -zonefile or -keyrec are specified, then the options values are used in one of two ways:

1.  A single zone name is given on the command line.

The option values for -zonefile and/or -keyrec are used for the actual rollrec fields.

2.  Multiple zone names are given on the command line.

The option values for -zonefile and/or -keyrec are used as templates for the actual rollrec fields.  The option values must contain  the string =.  This string is replaced by the zone whose rollrec is being created.

See the Examples section for examples of how options are used by rollinit.

rollinit may be given the following options:

-rollrec rollrec-name

This specifies the name of the rollrec record.  This value may contain spaces.  If this option is not specified, it will be set to the same value as the zonename field. See the ZONEFILE And KEYREC FIELDS and Examples sections for more details.

-zonefile zonefile

This specifies the value of the zonefile field. See the ZONEFILE And KEYREC FIELDS and Examples sections for more details.

-keyrec keyrec-file

This specifies the value of the keyrec field. See the ZONEFILE And KEYREC FIELDS and Examples sections for more details.

-zg zonegroup

-zonegroup zonegroup

This specifies the value of the zonegroup field.  This field is optional.

-admin

This specifies the value of the administrator field.  If it is not given, an administrator field will not be included for the record.

-directory

This specifies the value of the directory field.  If it is not given, a directory field will not be included for the record.

-loglevel

This specifies the value of the loglevel field.  If it is not given, a loglevel field will not be included for the record.

-skip

By default, roll records are generated.  If this option is given, then skip records will be generated instead.

-out output-file

The new rollrec entries will be appended to output-file. The file will be created if it does not exist.

If this option is not given, the new rollrec entries will be written to standard output.

-help

Display a usage message.

-Version

Display version information for rollinit and DNSSEC-Tools.

The following options should make clear how rollinit deals with options and the new rollrecs.  Example 1 will show the complete new rollrec record. For the sake of brevity, the remaining examples will only show the newly created zonefile and keyrec records.

An info rollrec is shown in the first example.  In the interests of space, it is not included in the remaining examples.
