yadifa.conf(5)

Usage

${SYSCONFDIR}/yadifa.conf

Overview

The configuration of yadifa has several containers:

`<yadifa-ctrl>`	Controller module settings
`<key>`	TSIG keys

The configuration supports included files.
example: include /home/yadifa/yadifa-keys.conf

The configuration files can be nested.

The configuration consists of:

`*`	Container, which starts with <container name> and ends with </container name>
`*`	Variable name
`*`	1 or 2 arguments
`*`	Arguments can contain 1 or more comma separated values.

eg.

<container>
    # variable  argument
    variable    value1  
    # variable  argument1       argument2
    variable    value1          value2
    # variable  argument1
    variable    value1,value2
</container>
