samba - Nov 2000 - scripts called by program not working under tng, but they work under 207

Hi!

There are bash scripts dealing with dns update and passwd change. They work
under samba 207, but dont work under tng cvs.
There is for example a line:

echo [$(date)] >> logfile

Under 207 it writes the current time, but under tng there are only the
brakets, and nothing more.
Why?

I guess that's because "$(date)" is not Bourne shell syntax.

Either configure:

    wins hook = /bin/bash /usr/local/samba-tng/bin/dns_update

or make the first line of dns_update look like

    #!/bin/bash

(not indented!) or change the line to

    echo "[`date`]" >> logfile

Latter method preferred (Bourne shell syntax).
