Well, I have discovered the proximate cause of why samba-4.4 is not listening on 53. It is because the DNS service dies due to missing files in /var/db/samba4/private/. Specifically dns_update_list. There are a number of missing files in the samba error logs. No such file or directory: '/var/db/samba4/private/spn_update_list' No such file or directory: '/var/db/samba4/private/dns_update_list Also these files are present on the samba-4.3 server but not on the samba-4.4. dns_up...

Every 10 minutes, my samba 4.0.9 (active directory domain controller) is logging messages like these :- 2014-01-07T14:26:09.896260+11:00 gumbo samba[5198]: /usr/sbin/samba_dnsupdate: ; Communication with 127.0.1.1#53 failed: operation canceled 2014-01-07T14:26:09.896281+11:00 gumbo samba[5198]: /usr/sbin/samba_dnsupdate: could not talk to any default name server 2014-01-07T14:26:09.917096+11:00

The samba_dnsupdate script uses a file 'dns_update_list to check for records and create any missing ones, this uses '${HOSTNAME}', so it looks like somewhere 'dc' still exists. Rowland

...dress to the box and want to update DNS dynamically. I installed all of Samba to get "samba_dnsupdate". Prior to this I only needed winbind and a few Kerberos related things. Whenever I run samba_dnsupdate I get the error: "No such file or directory: '/var/lib/samba/private/dns_update_list" I can't work out what creates that file. The directory exists. I've tried starting smbd and nmbd and restarting winbind. Normally I only run winbind on this box. Cheers Jon

...:47 s6a named[9857]: exiting (due to fatal error) because of a conflict between an already included zone file and the Samba4 domain (test.cornell.edu). What is the recommended best practice to fix this situation? I don't believe that I should have to add the offending zone's contents to dns_update_list; this seems like a hack to me. But then I don't have a lot of mileage with samba_dnsupdate yet. Steve

So finally I got the net vampire to work. I had to roll back to commit 62e0a74 bypassing all the updates done by mdw at samba.org for now. Now the replication PDC1 is the first domain controller created by provision PDC2 is the second is the second domain controller created by net vampire on PDC1 I added user using "net newuser testuser1" in few seconds it appeared on PDC2 using the

...works fine (it can even update the DNS database), but I can of course no longer access my devices, e.g. nslookup printer returns: aschweiz ~> nslookup printer Server: 172.16.1.18 Address: 172.16.1.18#53 ** server can't find printer: NXDOMAIN What I already tried was to add my devices in dns_update_list, e.g. by adding a line: A printer 172.16.1.16 However, then I get an error message when starting samba: "Failed DNS update - NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED". Can anybody help me with this? How to add devices to the zone that Samba creates in the DNS server? Thank you, Andreas

Hi, Samba: 4.12.0 During the migration from Windows DCs to Samba DCs, the following issue came up: after transferring PDC emulator role to a samba DC, the according DNS record wasn't re-created: # samba-tool fsmo show -d 0 | grep PdcEmulationMasterRole PdcEmulationMasterRole owner: CN=NTDS

Hello, I use Samba AD in Version 4.8.3 and would like to run it on IPv4 und IPv6 in order to be able to have Samba acting as IPv6 DNS Server. However since I have problem with sysprep domain join as soon as Samba advertises its own Domain Controller Hostname as IPv4 and IPv6 address, I would like to tell Samba to run on both protocols but only resolve to an IPv4 address. So in short: When I

...nly one SRV record for the PCD emulator. I will delete the other 2. Yes, one PDC_Emulator, one dns record. > > If I transfer the FSMO role will that be updated then ? On a samba AD DC, the samba_dnsupdate script is run at start up and then every 10 minutes, this script uses a file called dns_update_list and if a required dns record is missing, it is created. One of these records is this: # The PDC emulator ${IF_PDC}SRV _ldap._tcp.pdc._msdcs.${DNSDOMAIN} ${HOSTNAME} 389 If you move the PDC emulator role to another DC, the required SRV record will be created, but there is no code to del...

...mba 4 domain controller with Bind 9.4.7. It seems to work for the most part. However, my Active Directory DNS never gets entries for any client machines. There is an A record for the DC, but never for any clients. I looked at 'samba_dnsupdate' and see that it gets its input from private/dns_update_list. That list also doesn't have any A records for clients that joined my domain after Samba provisioning. In fact, that file hasn't been modified since provisioning. Maybe I misunderstand the purpose of that list, and it shouldn't have any additional A records, but in that case I cannot...
