samba - Oct 2024 - Best way to get the current PDC emulator master via DNS (Possible bug?)

> Transferring the PDC_Emulator FSMO role does not create the dns entry,
it is created by samba_dnsupdate, which is run every 10 minutes.

Is there a reason it doesn't clean up the old one? It seems odd to have 
multiple DNS entries.

Thanks,

Darin

OK, the reason is, it wasn't added when the initial python code was
written and I never thought about it when I upgraded the code to
transfer/seize all 7 FSMO roles. Subsequently, I was told my python
code isn't really good enough for Samba, so I have no compulsion to fix
it.
