NAME¶
named - Internet domain name serverSYNOPSIS¶
named [-4] [-6] [-c config-file] [-d debug-level] [-D string] [-E engine-name] [-f] [-g] [-M option] [-m flag] [-n #cpus] [-p port] [-s] [-S #max-socks] [-t directory] [-U #listeners] [-u user] [-v] [-V] [-x cache-file]
DESCRIPTION¶
named is a Domain Name System (DNS) server, part of the BIND 9 distribution from ISC. For more information on the DNS, see RFCs 1033, 1034, and 1035.When invoked without arguments, named will read the default configuration file /etc/named.conf, read any initial data, and listen for queries.
OPTIONS¶
-4-6
-c config-file
-d debug-level
-D string
-E engine-name
When BIND is built with OpenSSL PKCS#11 support, this defaults to the string "pkcs11", which identifies an OpenSSL engine that can drive a cryptographic accelerator or hardware service module. When BIND is built with native PKCS#11 cryptography (--enable-native-pkcs11), it defaults to the path of the PKCS#11 provider library specified via "--with-pkcs11".

-M option
-m flag

-p port

-S #max-socks
-t directory
-U #listeners
-u user

-x cache-file
SIGNALS¶
In routine operation, signals should not be used to control the nameserver; rndc should be used instead.SIGHUP
SIGINT, SIGTERM
The result of sending any other signals to the server is undefined.
CONFIGURATION¶
The named configuration file is too complex to describe in detail here. A complete description is provided in the BIND 9 Administrator Reference Manual.named inherits the umask (file creation mode mask) from the parent process. If files created by named, such as journal files, need to have custom permissions, the umask should be set explicitly in the script used to start the named process.
FILES¶
/etc/named.conf/var/run/named/named.pid
