Hi,
besides nsd it is possible to make dynamic update work with bind on centos
5.5.
Yes, sure. It's just that bind configuration seems to be a
significantly difficult part of getting Samba 4 working (many people
seem to have trouble with it) so I was wondering if nsd was any
better.
I am using bind, but I don't really need dynamic DNS updates because I
am only using Samba 4 for authentication of services on a couple of
servers. i.e. no workstations. Static IPs. No machines
joining/leaving etc.
This was our reasoning for switching to nsd (as we run nsd for other
services). We do have machines joining/leaving, but the ip's and names
are static so the records can be generated beforehand.
Since I have bind working, I am not looking to switch to nsd. I was
just wondering why Lukasz chose it, but I suppose they were using it
already, before implementing Samba 4.
We started with bind and it was all working (RHEL 6 beta), but when we
switched to CentOS 5 the bind was not new enough. We wanted to avoid
needles manual builds of bind (in general any packages) and keep
everything packaged. (In saying that i had to build ldap module for
python 2.6 to get the import from ldap script working)
Regards
Luk

Hi all,
This message is a testament to the great work samba team has done, but
its
also an encouragement to those of you that still not sure if samba4 will
work in your environment.
This semester we have moved from samba 3.0.X DC to samba4 DC for
students,
and things are working great
The move was predominantly driven by switching from Windows XP to Windows
7
desktop platform (but also by a need for proper group policy).
Our setup is quite simple and includes:
One samba4 DC (running on centos 5.5 x64) with nsd dns backend
[...]
Do you have dynamic DNS updates working with nsd? Using Kerberos?
From clients too or just with the samba_dnsupdate script?
Nope, AFAIK nsd can't do ms style dynamic updates (its the one bundled
with Centos 5.5). We decided to go for static dns (we have only one s4
DC), which is composed of the bind config file generated by s4 provision
(nsd can use bind config files, but TXT records have to be quoted for
some reason) and all other records generated from database.
How was it to set up compared to bind?
Besides not setting up dynamic updates, quite easy (I think easier than
bind). As mentioned earlier, it supports bind config syntax (but TXT
records have to be quoted).
