Also, for consideration along with a fix to the usage message, it would be more clear if the error message error "rndc: 'sync' failed: unknown class/type" could be changed to something like "rndc: 'sync' failed: unknown option -clear". Apparently, using the above example, rndc's parameter parser regards "-clear" as the zone name and "jaspain.net" as the class name. As I read RFC 1035, domain names can't begin with a hyphen, so rndc should in theory be able to correctly discern this error. Jeffry A.
