samba - Sep 2010 - Strange provisioning error - I really expect an answer

Hello All,

I'm trying to contribute with my tests and continuous attempts to install
and stress-test samba, but it gets really sad and frustrating finding out
that no one answers.

I know a lot of "we do this for free", "we do this in our free
time", "wait
longer for an answer" and that will come, save some typing and please, do
not reply with that.

I've contributed videos to the comunity and material so that it gets tested
more, but I have many unanswered questions. Like whe I tried dynamic
updates, and tried to join a W2k8 server to samba4 domain, as Tridge, showed
on his video he never got that "cannot  determine if DNS server supports
dynamic updates", it remains unsolved for me and unanswered. It'dbe
nice to
see how Tridge had his DNS setup?, did he run dhcpd on that same machine?,
did he create dns zones manually?.

I hope this time I get a chance.

I installed samab 4 from git, and compiled it with no errors, provisioned
and it worked, then I deleted the whole /usr/local/samab dir because I
screwed it up with a failed attempt of joining a w2k8 R2 machine to the
domain, decided to re-provision and I'm getting this error:

Also when I issue "make quicktest",  before installing this shows

If you could please, give me some hint it'd be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.

Yes, it can be frustrating, but I doubt anyone is deliberately
ignoring your messages.

I suspect the people who can answer your questions have not seen them.
 This could be because you're asking in the wrong place or because
they have very little time and the subject of your e-mail didn't catch
their eye etc.

Since the Samba4 HOWTO says to report your experiences on the
samba-technical list, I suggest you send your questions about samba4
there.  There's also a #samba-technical channel on irc.freenode.org.
The topic is:

08:31 -!- #samba-technical 66 logs on  http://samba.sernet.de/irclog/ - Ask
          non-development questions in #samba (all samba4 questions welcome
          however) | CIA commit notifications in #samba-commits

I have copied my reply to the samba-technical list.
