Question ddns about dithematic

[horia]

is the ddns zone and user required to operate properly

ddns zone is not required. It's different from static zone because it allows DNS UPDATE from IP's other than name servers listed in its parent zone, using the protocol from rfc2136. Allowed IP's for DNS UPDATE are managed with authpf(8) i.e. user "puffy" first needs to SSH login on the master name server host to authenticate the IP from which they will next update ddns.example.com using e.g. nsupdate (pkg_add ics-bind) or dnspython (pkg_add py-dnspython) on their device.

"nsd.conf.zone.ddns.example.com" can be disabled in nsd.conf and I will patch the Makefile to exclude ddns when not needed (oops.)

ddns user isn't required without a zone with DNS UPDATE, I will clarify this, thank you.

directions for installation (other than switching Master and Slave in Makefile)

Correct, the same procedure with MASTER=yes/no in Makefile.local

Please let me know if any problems.

I must be doing something really wrong. But if I don't ask I will not know. I have tried several ways but these issues stay the same.

Was I suppose to have a password for user tsig?
Perhaps just copy ed25519.pub key over manually?

I will try again this evening nsd doesn't want to start without a zone loaded first so if I use zoneadd it will fail at error: connect (127.0.0.1@8952): Connection refused. Then I can rcctl start nsd and run zoneadd again and it runs through the whole process of zoneadd. Thanks for your patience.

Horia, I wish I knew how to fix this one myself. Fresh Install have a couple Vultr Snapshots.
