samba - Feb 2019 - Samba 4.x to 4.9 upgrade and bind DLZ dns.

Hai Guys, 

Just a general notification. 

Currently if you run samba 4.x-4.8 and upgraded to 4.9.0-4.9.4 on bind9 dns. 
Your missing the new folders. 

So even when your already running on bind9_dlz, follow these steps, 
and prevent possible problems in future. 

# create the missing folder. 
mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/bind-dns/dns

# use samba_upgradedns to move the files and folder and fixes rights.
samba_upgradedns --dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ
... Yes, even if you already run bind9_dlz. 

# Change the path in bind. So samba can load the needed named.conf again. 
sed -i 's/private/bind-dns/g' $(rgrep
"samba/private/named.conf" | awk -F":" '{ print $1
}')

# restart bind and samba
systemctl restart bind9 samba-ad-dc

And your done. 

Greetz, 

Louis

So it happened to you ;-)

I have written a patch for samba_upgradedns to check for and
add /var/lib/samba/bind-dns if it is missing. This has been sat on
samba-technical since the 15th Feb, care to check it and give it your
RB+ ?

Well.. 

Yes and no.  :-) 

Yes.. I happend to me that folder /var/lib/samba/bind-dns/dns was not created. 
And I did recall you made a patch for that but to prevent future problems. 
I've created and changed the setup to match the standards again of samba.

Upgrading from 4.8.9 to 4.9.4 was flawless and everything works perfect but 
besides thats and i wanted to know a simple fixup.
Looked around in the samba list and below is the result ;-)
