  53 <a name="id2609787"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
  54 <p><span><strong class="command">dnssec-settime</strong></span>
  55       reads a DNSSEC private key file and sets the key timing metadata
  56       as specified by the <code class="option">-P</code>, <code class="option">-A</code>,
  57       <code class="option">-R</code>, <code class="option">-I</code>, and <code class="option">-D</code>
  58       options.  The metadata can then be used by
  59       <span><strong class="command">dnssec-signzone</strong></span> or other signing software to
  60       determine when a key is to be published, whether it should be
  61       used for signing a zone, etc.
  62     </p>
  63 <p>
  64       If none of these options is set on the command line,
  65       then <span><strong class="command">dnssec-settime</strong></span> simply prints the key timing
  66       metadata already stored in the key.
  67     </p>
  68 <p>
  69       When key metadata fields are changed, both files of a key
  70       pair (<code class="filename">Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii.key</code> and
  71       <code class="filename">Knnnn.+aaa+iiiii.private</code>) are regenerated.
  72       Metadata fields are stored in the private file.  A human-readable
  73       description of the metadata is also placed in comments in the key
  74       file.
  75     </p>

  83             Without this option, <span><strong class="command">dnssec-settime</strong></span> will
  84             fail when attempting to update a legacy key.  With this option,
  85             the key will be recreated in the new format, but with the
  86             original key data retained.  The key's creation date will be
  87             set to the present time.

 110 <p>
 111       Dates can be expressed in the format YYYYMMDD or YYYYMMDDHHMMSS.
 112       If the argument begins with a '+' or '-', it is interpreted as
 113       an offset from the present time.  For convenience, if such an offset
 114       is followed by one of the suffixes 'y', 'mo', 'w', 'd', 'h', or 'mi',
 115       then the offset is computed in years (defined as 365 24-hour days,
 116       ignoring leap years), months (defined as 30 24-hour days), weeks,
 117       days, hours, or minutes, respectively.  Without a suffix, the offset
 118       is computed in seconds.  To unset a date, use 'none'.

 123             Sets the date on which a key is to be published to the zone.
 124             After that date, the key will be included in the zone but will
 125             not be used to sign it.

 127 <dt><span class="term">-A <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>
 128 <dd><p>
 129             Sets the date on which the key is to be activated.  After that
 130             date, the key will be included in the zone and used to sign
 131             it.

 133 <dt><span class="term">-R <em class="replaceable"><code>date/offset</code></em></span></dt>

 136             date, the key will be flagged as revoked.  It will be included
 137             in the zone and will be used to sign it.

 149             may remain in the key repository, however.)
