Name

krfcheck - Check a DNSSEC-Tools keyrec file for problems and inconsistencies

Synopsis

krfcheck [-zone | -set | -key] [-count] [-quiet]
         [-verbose] [-Version] [-help] keyrec-file

Description

This script checks a keyrec file for problems, potential problems, and inconsistencies.

Recognized problems include:

• no zones defined
The keyrec file does not contain any zone keyrecs.
• no sets defined
The keyrec file does not contain any set keyrecs.
• no keys defined
The keyrec file does not contain any key keyrecs.
• unknown zone keyrecs
A set keyrec or a key keyrec references a non-existent zone keyrec.
• missing key from zone keyrec
A zone keyrec does not have both a KSK key and a ZSK key.
• missing key from set keyrec
A key listed in a set keyrec does not have a key keyrec.
• expired zone keyrecs
A zone has expired.
• mislabeled key
A key is labeled as a KSK (or ZSK ) and its owner zone has it labeled as the opposite.
• invalid zone data values
A zone's keyrec data are checked to ensure that they are valid. The following conditions are checked: existence of the zone file, existence of the KSK file, existence of the KSK and ZSK directories, the end-time is greater than one day, and the seconds-count and date string match.
• invalid key data values
A key's keyrec data are checked to ensure that they are valid. The following conditions are checked: valid encryption algorithm, key length falls within algorithm's size range, random generator file exists, and the seconds-count and date string match.
Recognized potential problems include:
• imminent zone expiration
A zone will expire within one week.
• odd zone-signing date
A zone's recorded signing date is later than the current system clock.
• orphaned keys
A key keyrec is unreferenced by any set keyrec.
• missing key directories
A zone keyrec's key directories (kskdirectory or zskdirectory) does not exist.
Recognized inconsistencies include:
• key-specific fields in a zone keyrec
A zone keyrec contains key-specific entries. To allow for site-specific extensibility, krfcheck does not check for undefined keyrec fields.
• zone-specific fields in a key keyrec
A key keyrec contains zone-specific entries. To allow for site-specific extensibility, krfcheck does not check for undefined keyrec fields.
• mismatched zone timestamp
A zone's seconds-count timestamp does not match its textual timestamp.
• mismatched set timestamp
A set's seconds-count timestamp does not match its textual timestamp.
• mismatched key timestamp
A key's seconds-count timestamp does not match its textual timestamp.

Options

-zone

Only perform checks of zone keyrecs. This option may not be combined with the -set or -key options.
-set
Only perform checks of set keyrecs. This option may not be combined with the -zone or -key options.
-key
Only perform checks of key keyrecs. This option may not be combined with the -set or -zone options.
-count
Display a final count of errors.
-quiet
Do not display messages. This option supersedes the setting of the -verbose option.
-verbose
Display many messages. This option is subordinate to the -quiet option.
