samba - Nov 2013 - samba4 smb.conf directive "dns recursive queries" unkown

Hi there,

I build a samba 4.0.11 on a Debian Wheezy from source, joined a existing
AD (samba works with internal dns) and have this smb.conf:

======# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = DOMAIN
        realm = DOMAIN.local
        netbios name = SAMBA1
        server role = active directory domain controller

        allow dns updates = nonsecure
        dns recursive queries = yes
        server services = +dns, +dnsupdate
        log file = /var/log/samba/samba.log
        max log size = 10000
        log level = 8
        debug timestamp = yes

[netlogon]
        path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/domain.local/scripts
        read only = No

[sysvol]
        path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol
        read only = No
======
When I do a testparm (samba-tool testparm) I get this error:

     Unknown parameter encountered: "dns recursive queries"
     Ignoring unknown parameter "dns recursive queries"

I can not find the proper directive for recursive queries...?

May someone help here?

Thanks!
Tom

dns recursive queries is not a valid parameter in the 4.0 series.
The parameter you need to set to get recursive queries in 4.0 and 4.1 is

dns forwarder = <ip address of forwarder>

Arguably we should reenable recursive queries even without a forwarder at some
point, but the above setting should fix your issue.
