DESCRIPTION

mydns is a SQL-based DNS server.

OPTIONS

-b, --background

Run in the background, as a daemon.

-c, --conf=filename

Read configuration from filename instead of the de

fault (/etc/mydns.conf). Consult mydns.conf(5) for information

about configuring mydns.

-d, --debug

Output huge amounts of diagnostic text while run

ning. This option is only available if MyDNS was configured with

the --enable-debug option.

-D, --database=dbname

Use the database called dbname.

-h, --host=hostname

Connect to database server at hostname.

-p, --pass=password

Supply password when connecting to the database

server. If the password argument is omitted, it will be prompted

on the tty.

-u, --user=username

Use username when connecting to the database serv

er.

-v, --verbose

Enable verbose output while running.

--create-tables

Write CREATE TABLE statements suitable for creating

the tables used by mydns to the standard output and exit.

--dump-config

Read the current configuration (if any). Dump all

possible configuration options to the standard output, with cur

rent values filled in. For options not presently configured, the

internal defaults will be used. Output is in mydns.conf format,

which is handy for creating a mydns.conf template.

--help Display program help and exit.

--version

Output version number and exit.

FILES

/etc/mydns.conf

The default location of the configuration file.
