-====== Bind - Enable Logging ======
-The **rndc** command controls the operation of a name server.  If rndc is invoked with no command line options or arguments, it prints a short summary of the supported commands and the available options and their arguments.
-rndc communicates with the name server over a TCP connection, sending commands authenticated with digital signatures. In the current versions of rndc and bind the only supported authentication algorithm is HMAC-MD5, which uses a shared secret on each end of the connection. This provides TSIG-style authentication for the command request and the name server's response.  All commands sent over the channel must be signed by a key_id known to the server.
