Apologies, have I put this in the wrong place? Is this perhaps something I need
to ask the technical list?

Subject: [Samba] dc locator/site awareness, and samba-winbind-krb5-locator
Hi all
A couple of questions for you on domain integration:
Firstly, can someone please explain to me where/how a samba device's site info
is cached? I see from a trace that when winbind starts it goes through the
usual process that a windows device does (DNS query for non site-specific SRV,
LDAP query/response with site name, DNS query for site-specific SRV).
-How is the site info cached?
-How can the cache be refreshed?
-Is it possible to manually set a site (like configuring the SiteName
registry entry on a windows box)
Secondly, I installed the samba-winbind-krb5-locator plugin (on Fedora), how
can I tell this is actually working? It no longer queries DNS for the _kerberos
or _kpasswd SRV records (cf windows client) so I am assuming it is working ok.
However before I did the domain join, it was still doing default Kerberos
behaviour (i.e. looking for _kerberos and_kerberos-master, with no site info
requested).
I couldn't see anything in the man pages for winbind. I am an AD person not a
UNIX person so thanks in advance for any insights/top tips from samba gurus :)
