When I run: # samba_upgradedns --dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ I get the following: lpcfg_load: refreshing parameters from /etc/samba/smb.conf params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf" Reading domain information lpcfg_load: refreshing parameters from /etc/samba/smb.conf params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file "/etc/samba/smb.conf" DNS accounts already exist No zone file /var/lib/samba/private/dns/MYDOMAIN.COM.zone DNS records will be automatically created DNS partitions already exist Adding dns-earl account See /var/lib/samba/private/named.conf for an example configuration include file for BIND and /var/lib/samba/private/named.txt for further documentation required for secure DNS updates Finished upgrading DNS
What does the line "No zone file /var/lib/samba/private/dns/MYDOMAIN.COM.zone" mean? Or rather, I know what it means, but what is the file itself supposed to do? In all the Samba4 documentation, I don't see any indication on where this file is supposed to be created. I even see references here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Dns-backend_bind#Interaction_with_AppArmor_or_SELinux (the SELinux settings) where this file is mentioned, but no other indication anywhere on what its purpose is, or what should be in it. I mean, obviously, it's a zone file, but for what? Aren't the zones kept in the tdb files now? Is this a relic from the BIND9_FLATFILE backend, and the documentation hasn't been updated? Any info appreciated. Thanks -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
