Structure of a policy file

The policy file is an INI file that is easy to read and modify. The policy file contains sub-policies identified by a name. The default sub-policy is bind. The various options under a sub-policy identify the policy-related actions. You cannot add sub-policies; however, you may modify the existing ones.

The contents of a policy file are as follows:

 [bind]

 add_a = yes

 add_aaaa = yes

 add_cname = yes

 add_mx = yes

 add_ns = yes

 add_ptr = yes

 add_srv = yes

 add_txt = yes

 add_zone = yes

 delete_a = yes

 delete_aaaa = yes

 delete_cname = yes

 delete_mx = yes

 delete_ns = yes

 delete_ptr = yes

 delete_srv = yes

 delete_txt = yes

 delete_zone = yes

 edit_soa = yes

To revoke permission on an action, set the attribute to no; to grant permission, set the attribute to yes.
