NAME

       atalkd - AppleTalk RTMP, NBP, ZIP, and AEP manager

SYNOPSIS

       atalkd [-f configfile] [-1] [-2]

DESCRIPTION

       atalkd is responsible for all user level AppleTalk network management. This includes routing, name registration and lookup, zone lookup,
       and the AppleTalk Echo Protocol (similar to ping(8)).  atalkd is typically started at boot time, out of /etc/rc. It first reads from its
       configuration file, /etc/netatalk/atalkd.conf. If there is no configuration file, atalkd will attempt to configure all available interfaces
       and will create a configuration file. The file consists of a series of interfaces, one per line. Lines with `#' in the first column are
       ignored, as are blank lines. The syntax is

       interface [ -seed ] [ -phase number ] [ -net net-range ] [ -addr address ] [ -zone zonename ] ...

       Note that all fields except the interface are optional. The loopback interface is configured automatically. If -seed is specified, all
       other fields must be present. Also, atalkd will exit during bootstrapping, if a router disagrees with its seed information. If -seed is not
       given, all other information may be overriden during auto-configuration. If no -phase option is given, the default phase as given on the
       command line is used (the default is 2). If -addr is given and -net is not, a net-range of one is assumed.

       The first -zone directive for each interface is the ``default'' zone. Under Phase 1, there is only one zone. Under Phase 2, all routers on
       the network are configured with the default zone and must agree.  atalkd maps ``*'' to the default zone of the first interface. Note: The
       default zone for a machine is determined by the configuration of the local routers; to appear in a non-default zone, each service, e.g.
       afpd, must individually specify the desired zone. See also nbp_name(3).

ROUTING

       If you are connecting a netatalk router to an existing AppleTalk internet, you should first contact your local network administrators to
       obtain appropriate network addresses.

       atalkd can provide routing between interfaces by configuring multiple interfaces. Each interface must be assigned a unique net-range
       between 1 and 65279 (0 and 65535 are illegal, and addresses between 65280 and 65534 are reserved for startup). It is best to choose the
       smallest useful net-range, i.e. if you have three machines on an Ethernet, don't chose a net-range of 1000-2000. Each net-range may have an
       arbitrary list of zones associated with it.

EXAMPLES

       Below is an example configuration file for a sun4/40. The machine has two interfaces, ``le0'' and ``le1''. The ``le0'' interface is
       configured automatically from other routers on the network. The machine is the only router for the ``le1'' interface.

	      le0
	      le1 -seed -net 9461-9471 -zone netatalk -zone Argus

       atalkd automatically acts as a router if there is more than one interface.

FILES

       /etc/netatalk/atalkd.conf configuration file

BUGS

       On some systems, atalkd can not be restarted.

NAME

       named-checkzone - zone validity checking tool

SYNOPSIS

       class] mode] mode] outfile] directory] directory] zonename [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       is a tool for performing integrity checks on the zone contents.	It uses the same integrity checks as the daemon when loading a zone.  This
       makes useful for checking zone files before configuring them into a name server.  Zones and zone files are described in named.conf(4).

   Options
       Specify the class of the zone.

       Dump the zone file in canonical format.

       Enable debugging.

       Read the journal (if it exists) when loading the zone file.

       Perform	 checks with the specified failure mode.  Possible modes are (default), and The option is described in named.conf(4).

       Specify whether NS records should be checked to see if they are addresses.
		 Possible modes are (default), and

       Write zone output to
		 outfile .

       Enable quiet mode for exit code only.

       Print the version of
		 and exit.

       Change to directory (see chdir(2)) so that relative file names in master file directives work This is similar to the clause in

   Operands
       filename  The file to use for checking the zone contents.  The default is the file with the zone name.  For the default to work,  the  file
		 name for the zone in the statement of the file must be identical to the zone name.

       zonename  The zone whose contents are to be checked.

RETURN VALUE

       sets the exit status to:

	      Success.

	      Errors were detected.
