Thanks Rowland.
Is it possible to add some feature requests for extra options for
samba_dnsupdate please?
1) --dry-run :)
2) --current-ip=CURRENT_IP to force using this *
3) --all-names description, what does this mean?
4) Some proper examples on the Wiki or man pages, and especially the kinit
option...
--use-nsupdate Use nsupdate command to make updates over DNS
(default, if kinit successful)
* yesterday, we changed the IP addresses of our DCs and the Wiki page did not
mention (IMHO) 2 critical things...
1. "Check your hosts file for old IP address entries of the DCs".
Yes, I did not change the 2 old IP address entries in my /etc/hosts file and
that samba_dnsupdate command subequently started changing things wrongly (hence
the --dry-run option!). It then involved me cleaning up the spurious wrong
entries in the database :-(
2. When can you sign in to Kerberos to test the Domain credentials and run
samba-tool commands to check all is well?
Thanks,
Paul
