Nsdc absent from NSD

NSD
1

Trying NSD out on a FreeBSD 10 machine. Installed from ports and trying to follow info in these two tutorials:

http://www.prado.it/2012/04/19/how-to-run-master-and-slave-nsd-on-freebsd-9-0/

http://www.tokiwinter.com/nsd-master-slave-dns-servers/

Both instruct reloading using nsdc, but the command seems to be totally absent after the install from ports. Any idea why?

Thanx

Those turorials are probably based on NSD3 (still available in ports as dns/nsd3). nsdc has been replaced by the nsd-control utility in NSD4.

The port has probably been updated to NSD 4, which does *not* have nsdc
any more. NSD 4 now has a new command called nsd-control. I expect the
port to have installed the man pages, so do the following to familiarise
yourself with NSD 4's new commands:

man nsd
man nsd.conf
man nsd-control

Alternatively, download a tarball of NSD 4's source code and read the
file called NSD-4-features in there.

Thank you!

When I run 'nsd-control status' I get:

warning: control-enable is 'no' in the config file.
error: Error setting up SSL_CTX client key and cert

Reading that link you included, do I get the impression that if I am just running one local daemon, I shouldn't bother with nsd-control and just do a kill -HUP to reload it?

Or should I be generating keys for nsd-control even if its just on localhost?

Ha nevermind. The kill -HUP reference threw me off/distracted me before I saw nsd-control-setup. All seems well now.

Thanx
