NAME

    dnssec-copyprivate -- Copy the private zone signing keys for a zone
    to another directory.

SYNOPSIS

    dnssec-copyprivate  example.foo.  /path/dynamiczones/

DESCRIPTION

A Bind server that is configured for dynamic updates will need it's private keys on-line. If one wants to use the tools from Net::DNS::SEC::Maint to resign dynamic zones occasionally one will need to copy the private keys from the keydatabase to a directory where the BIND nameserver can find them.

This tool will fetch the 'active' key pairs from the key database and copy them to the directory specified.

CONFIGURATION

This tool needs access to the dnssecmaint configuration file. If the DNSSECMAINT_CONFFILE does not contain a full path to the configuration file the system will use the default location. (/usr/local/etc/dnssecmaint.conf)
