mydns.conf
mydns
won't start properly if it cannot find a configuration
file. By default, the configuration file is called
/usr/local/etc/mydns.conf
.
The mydns
program has a --dump-config
option that is
useful for creating a mydns.conf
file. This command will output a
set of configuration options suitable for using in your mydns.conf
.
If a mydns.conf
file already exists, any options within it will be
used in the output, otherwise the built-in defaults will be used. So, for
a fresh installation, you might issue the command to create your initial
mydns.conf
file: (See Configuration.)
# mydns --dump-config > /usr/local/etc/mydns.conf
