Hello, Looking to switch to Bind. Currently using Ubuntu 12.04 with Samba 4.1.13 compiled from tar. I'm a little confused on creating the localhost zone file section. Do I replace 'localhost' with the IP address of my Samba DC or do I really use the localhost address? This same question applies to the '0.0.127.in.addr.arpa' zone file. I guess I'm having a hard time understanding where I enter my actual zone name of my domain. If I need to clarify further please advise. Thanks. -- -James
Did you compile with --dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ ??? Than you do not need to bother about your local host zone. Just get samba4 and bind work together like in the HOWTOs.

Hi Daniel, I did not unfortunately. Have always used the internal DNS since 4.0.

Thanks. >Hi, have a look here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Changing_the_DNS_backend I think that you are trying to set Bind up with a flatfile backend, please don't do this, it will only end in tears :-) Rowland
Rowland, Thanks for the reply. I believe you're right. It appears the zone information is retrieved from '/usr/local/samba/private/named.conf'? Correct? I notice I do not have 'named.conf'. I have 'named.conf.update'. On 12/16/2014 9:21 AM, Rowland Penny wrote:> On 16/12/14 13:54, James wrote: >> Hello, >> >> Looking to switch to Bind.
