Quickstart instructions for MyDNS (PostgreSQL installation): ............................................................................... 1. Configure and install MyDNS. $ ./configure $ make # make install ............................................................................... 2. Create a database called `mydns' on your PostgreSQL server. # su - postgres $ createdb mydns ............................................................................... 3. Create the tables in the `mydns' database. $ /usr/local/sbin/mydns --create-tables | psql mydns ............................................................................... 4. Create a user the mydns(8) server can use to access the `mydns' database. $ psql mydns mydns=# CREATE USER "<user>" PASSWORD '<password>'; mydns=# GRANT SELECT ON soa,soa_id_seq TO "<user>"; mydns=# GRANT SELECT ON rr,rr_id_seq TO "<user>"; ............................................................................... 5. Create your configuration file. # make conf ............................................................................... 6. Edit the configuration file. Change the `db-user' and `db-pass' values to reflect the user name and password you created in step 3. ............................................................................... 7. Start `mydns'. You may want to add something like this to your startup scripts. # mydns --background ............................................................................... If you currently have a name server running BIND or something else, you can use the `mydnsimport' program to import the data from that server into your new MyDNS database. See the user's manual for details. ## vi:set ts=3:
