# mydns-conf(8)

Sets up a MyDNS service

## NAME

mydns-conf - Sets up a MyDNS service

## SYNOPSIS

**mydns-conf** *logacct* *D*

## DESCRIPTION

**mydns-conf** creates a service directory *D* that runs [**mydns**(8)](/mydns/8.md). The name *D* must start with a slash and must not contain any special characters. Normally *D* is */etc/mydns*.

You can run the service under [**svscan**(8)](/svscan/8.md) by creating a symbolic link in the [**svscan**(8)](/svscan/8.md) directory:

ln -s *D* /service

The service will start within five seconds, and will be restarted upon reboot.  You can use [**svc**(8)](/svc/8.md) to control the service.

**mydns-conf** creates an automatically rotated log directory in *D*/log/main. The logs are owned by *logacct*. The corresponding [**multilog**(8)](/multilog/8.md) processes run under the uid and gid of *logacct*. The name *logacct* must not contain any special characters.
