The .PN named transfer daemonruns on a BIND/Hesiod secondary server and pulls BIND/Hesiod zonesfrom a primary server. This daemon is not run by default, nor can it be started up from.MS inetd 8c .  .SH Options.NXR "named-xfer transfer daemon" "options".IP  "\-z \fIzone_to_transfer\fR"  19This option is required to pull a zone.  The\fIzone_to_transfer\fR argument specifies the name of the BIND/Hesiod zonethat the .PN named-xfer daemon will transfer, for example, dec.com..IP "\-f \fIdb_file\fR" 19This option is  required to pull a zone.  The\fIdb_file\fR argument specifies the name of the file into which the pulledzone information is placed..IP "\-s \fIserial_no\fR" 19This option is required to pull a zone.  The\fIserial_no\fR argument should be set to the current serial number ofthe SOA record for the zone \fIzone_to_transfer\fR.  If \fIserial_no\fR is set to 0, the zone is always pulled..IP "\-d \fIdebug_level\fR" 19The \fIdebug_level\fR argument sets the debug level and determines the amount ofdebug information to be displayed..IP "\-l \fIdebug_log_file\fR" 19The \fIdebug_log_file\fR argument specifies the file that will contain any debug messages from the zone pull..IP "\-t \fItrace_file\fR" 19The \fItrace_file\fR argument specifies the file that will contain a trace from the zone pull..IP "\-p \fIport\fR" 19The \fIport\fR argument specifies the port that will be used instead of the default nameserver port listed in .PN /etc/services ..IP \-n 19This option must be used when the .PN named daemon is running in the network safe mode.  It indicates that thezone pull must be authenticated..IP "\-a  \fIauth_type.auth_ver\fR" 19This option must be used if the .PN named daemon is running in the network safe mode.  The \fIauth_type\fRargument indicates what type of authentication to useand the \fIauth_ver\fR argument indicates what version of theauthentication type to use.  Currently, the \fIauth_type\fRmust be "kerberos" and the auth_ver must be "one"..IP \fIservers...\fR  19The servers argument is a list of Internet addressesfrom which to pull a zone.  If the first host cannot beddreached, the .PN named transfer daemon will try to pull the zone from the next host listed..SH See Alsoservices(5), named(8), kerberos(8krb).br.I "Guide to the BIND/Hesiod Service".br.I "Guide to Kerberos"
