Creating mydns.conf

mydns won't start properly if it cannot find a configuration file. By default, the configuration file is called /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 > /etc/mydns.conf
