samba - Jan 2026 - Samba Wiki Correction DHCP

Hi,

In section Configure DHCP to update DNS records - SambaWiki 
<https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Configure_DHCP_to_update_DNS_records>?there
is offered a script for DHCP to DNS auto uptate that should have 
addendum. According to? RFCs, including RFC 1035 and RFC 1123 DNS labels 
can not have special characters have space or start with hyphen.

In section:

....

# exit if name contains a space
case ${name} in
 ? ? *\ * )
 ? ? ? ? logger "Invalid hostname '${name}' ...Exiting"
 ? ? ? ? exit
 ? ? ? ? ;;
esac

....

One should add these cases.

May I add something else for the wiki, just because I found it right now?

preparing a new Samba-DC on Debian-13.3

tried to follow

https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Distribution-specific_Package_Installation#Debian/Ubuntu

In my opinion python3-samba is missing, otherwise the binary samba-tool 
isn't installed, right?

Maybe I missed some step in 
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_an_Active_Directory_Domain_Controller
but I can't find that package mentioned anywhere.

I will see if I find something else along the way ;-)
