Hi, Does anyone know of a document that gives details on how to set up Bind 9 and DHCPD 3.x so that dns is updated when clients log on? I saw this is not in the howto collection (http://www.bibsyst.no/samba/docs/man/DNSDHCP.html#id2981727) so I was kind of hoping someone else has some notes. I would be greatfull for any tips and links. Tarjei
Check this out - http://voidmain.kicks-ass.net/redhat/redhat_8_dhcp_dynamic_dns.html http://voidmain.kicks-ass.net/redhat/redhat_9_dhcp_dynamic_dns.html I think these are both pretty much the same. -----Original Message----- From: Tarjei Huse [mailto:tarjei@nu.no] Sent: 15 December 2003 16:14 To: samba@samba.org Subject: [Samba] DNS and DHCP setup Hi, Does anyone know of a document that gives details on how to set up Bind 9 and DHCPD 3.x so that dns is updated when clients log on?

I think you can find some info at http://isc.org/ You can download BIND and DHCP from there as well.

Hope this helps. Have fun. Mailed Lee
What I would recommend instead, is to ditch Bind. Use djbdns from http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/ for name resolution. It is (relatively) simple to migrate to and it is much better than Bind. Then use this script: http://www.thismetalsky.org/magic/projects/dhcp_dns.html to update DNS when the workstations obtain their addresses via DHCP. -- ========================================Ben Tullis Tarjei Huse wrote:> Hi, > > Does anyone know of a document that gives details on how to set up > Bind 9 and DHCPD 3.x so that dns is updated when clients log on? > I saw this is not in the howto collection > (http://www.bibsyst.no/samba/docs/man/DNSDHCP.html#id2981727) so I was > kind of hoping someone else has some notes. > > I would be greatfull for any tips and links. > > Tarjei >
