+One can generate a secret tsig key (for nsupdate and zone transfers with the
+keymgr command from the knot package. Note that the package is not automatically
+installed by the service. The following example shows how to generate a new
+tsig key:
+
+@example
+keymgr -t mysecret > /etc/knot/secrets.conf
+chmod 600 /etc/knot/secrets.conf
+@end example
+
+Also note that the generated key will be named @var{mysecret}, so it is the
+name that needs to be used in the @var{key} field of the
+@code{knot-acl-configuration} record and in other places that need to refer
+to that key.
