2.3 Creating 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 section 3. Configuration.)

 
# mydns --dump-config > /usr/local/etc/mydns.conf
