Dear Samba members, I am wondering if on joining a realm (with security=ADS), samba 3.x server gets automatically registered with MS Dynamic DNS server. My test with Samba 3.0.14a on linux did not reveal any such capability. But may be because I did not use the correct option? I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance, -Arup Biswas

I would appreciate any help.Tridge had an example perl script that handled this, but it's not part of Samba directly. I know he was trying to get a maintainer for it, but I don't know what happened in the end. It belongs partly with the ip-up scripts of the OS, because the idea is to modify the DNS entry based on IP address changes, not always when samba is or is not started.

If you're interested, Tridge put this code up with instructions at: http://us4.samba.org/samba/ftp/tsig-gss/ While I can't vouch for whether the code works, I can vouch that the author writes good code :). At the very least it could be a starting point for you. -Marc> -----Original Message----- > From:samba-technical-bounces+mkaplan=snapappliance.com@lists.samba.org>[mailto:samba-technical-bounces+mkaplan=snapappliance.com@lists.samba.or g]> On Behalf Of Arup Biswas > Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 5:06 PM > To: Andrew Bartlett > Cc: samba@lists.samba.org; samba-technical@lists.samba.org > Subject: RE: Active DNS registration on join realm? > > > Thanks, Andrew, I appreciate it. > > -Arup > > -----Original Message----- > From: Andrew Bartlett [mailto:abartlet@samba.org] > Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2005 4:55 PM > To: Arup Biswas > Cc: samba-technical@lists.samba.org; samba@lists.samba.org > Subject: Re: Active DNS registration on join realm? > > On Tue, 2005-09-20 at 11:49 -0700, Arup Biswas wrote: > > Dear Samba members, > > > > > > I am wondering if on joining a realm (with security=ADS), samba 3.x > > server gets automatically registered with MS Dynamic DNS server.

Excellent! I will certainly look at it.
