Hi, A while ago I setup Samba4 on CentOS 6. Samba version was 4.0.0 using the RPM from SOGo. I used the DLZ BIND backend with BIND 9.8.
I tested with a Windows 7 VM client. When I joined the client to the domain it was automatically added to the AD DNS and appeared in the Windows DNS Manager. The VM had a static IP, but if I changed the IP address that change was automatically reflected in the DNS entry. I am now adding new real clients to the domain and find that they are not added to the AD domain DNS. The client has a dynamic IP, but I have tried changing to a fixed IP address and it makes no difference. The only changes I can recall between the initial setup and now are: 1. Samba upgrade to 4.0.1. After upgrading I followed the procedure and ran samba-tool dbcheck --cross-ncs --fix samba-tool ntacl sysvolreset The upgrade changed the permissions of /var/lib/samba4/private back to root:root 700, which is no good, so I changed back to root:named 750. I also added "server services = -dns" to smb.conf as per the instructions because internal DNS is now default. 2. Tested OpenChange. But, prior to doing anything I backed up entire /var/lib/samba4 directory. When I removed OpenChange (as it is just not stable yet) I removed /var/lib/samba4 and replaced it with the backup. So this should not have any effect. I have checked everything against my notes made when installing Samba4 and can't find anything wrong. In terms of DNS, /etc/named.conf contains include "/var/lib/samba4/private/named.conf"; which loads the DLZ module for BIND 9.8. The /etc/named.conf also has in the options tkey-gssapi-keytab "/var/lib/samba4/private/dns.keytab"; Permissions of files: /var/lib/samba4/private/named.conf root:named 640 /var/lib/samba4/private/dns.keytab root:named 640 /var/lib/samba4/private/dns/ root:named 770 It all seems OK (I think), but no dynamic DNS updates. There is nothing in the samba.log file to suggest a problem. The system log has messages client <IP address>: update 'example.local/IN' denied samba_dlz: cancelling transaction on zone example.local Is there something I need to set in smb.conf? I see there are new options like "allow dns updates" and "dns update command", which I do not have specifically set, but I don't know if these only apply to Samba internal DNS. There is still really no documentation about smb.conf for Samba4. Can someone please explain what might be wrong or what I should look for.
