CONFIGURATION

a. File name given by "DNSDBCK_CONF" environment variable (if set)

b. ~/.dnsdbck.conf

c. /etc/dnsdbck.conf

First of these files that exists is read. It is an error, if the $DNSDBCK_CONF variable is set, but points to a file that does not exist. It is not an error if $DNSDBCK_CONF is not set and neither of the two remaining files exist. It is, however, an error if any of the file exists, but is not readable.

The configuration file uses usual UNIX configuration format. Empty lines and UNIX comments are ignored. Each non-empty line is either an option name, or option assignment, i.e. opt=val, with any amount of optional whitespace around the equals sign. Valid option names are the same as long command line options, but without the leading --. For example:

  all
  ignore-zones-from = /etc/dns/zone.ignore
  ignore-hosts-from = /etc/dns/host.ignore 
  my-cnf            = /etc/dns/my.cnf

ENVIRONMENT

DNSDBCK_CONF

The name of the configuration file to read, instead of the default /etc/dnsdbck.conf.
