We really don't want that in the wiki, because you should not be putting fixed things in /etc/hosts, we have to fix it another way. What we do want is to know:
Hi Andrew Thanks for picking this up!
- is this still an issue in GIT master?
Not sure. When setting up our DC #1 I did originally git from samba-master, but that was a month ago. I decided to match the git revision for DC #2, and all seemed fine apart from this last little hiccup. So, it may well have been fixed in the latest git samba-master. I DO intend to keep these DCs up-to-date regularly, either from samba-master or stable whichever you think is best :-)
- can we detect the difference between this error and a real non-existent name by looking at return codes (we had a similar issue on FreeBSD, and caught it this way). I'm hoping we might just be missing that fix, or there was a regression in that.
OK.
We have (multiple) alternative DNS resolvers internally, and we do use them. We try to use nss when we can, but fall back for the cases that don't work. If we can't rely on the error code, we may have to use a pre-check of the name instead. Any assistance tracking this down most valued, as it seems to be biting folks.
I would LOVE to help you folks out. Words cannot describe how impressed I am with Samba (through the many years I have been using it) and indeed more so now with Samba4. What would you like me to do?
