You are still using samba-4.0.0 - a lot of stuff has changed over time - recent is 4.0.4. I'm a bit wondering about ;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available in the failing dig command. In former samba versions there _was_ a [global] smb.conf option recursive queries = yes samba-tool testparm -v --suppress-prompt should list all available options. Can you try that one, if valid? Cheers, Günter ps - i possible, you should upgrade samba! -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
