Samba4 : sambatool dns add

location: linuxquestions.com - date: May 5, 2013
I have set up Samba4 on Ubuntu Server 13.04 64bit. I have tried adding a Windows 7 Client machine which is set to resolve DNS from this server (using Samba's internal DNS Server) but I get an error message stating that the SRV record was queried successfully yet the domain controller could not be found. It states that common reasons for this are that there are no A records for the domain controller. I know that the samba-tool command needs to be used as such: samba-tool dns add <server> <zone> <name> <A|AAAA|PTR|CNAME|NS|MX|SRV|TXT> <data> If my server is called server01 and my domain is example.local and the IP address of the server is 192.168.1.1 what would the command be that I would need to enter in to setup an A record for my SERVER01 host. (Providing that an A record is what I need to resolve this).............

11.04 DNS errors

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: May 12, 2011
I have recently upgraded to the new ubuntu 11.04 but am having problems with the internet. Often When I try to access a website it takes a long time (5-10 minutes) to load even google, and sometimes I just get the following error message: This web page is not available The server at google.com can't be found because the DNS lookup failed. DNS is the web service that translates a website's name to its Internet address. This error is most often caused by having no connection to the Internet or a misconfigured network. It can also be caused by an unresponsive DNS server or a firewall preventing Chromium from accessing the network. Here are some suggestions: Reload this web page later. Check your Internet connection. Reboot any routers, modems or other network devices that you may be using. Check your DNS settings. Contact your network administrator if you're not sure what this means. Try disabling DNS prefetching by following these steps: Go to Spanner m

Squid/DNS Intermittent Issue

location: linuxquestions.com - date: July 23, 2005
squid 2.5.STABLE10 (localhost) on slackware 10.1... i am getting an intermittent/sporadic squid DNS error when surfing the web (through squid)... it will happen with known good URLs and when it happens the "outage" only lasts less than a minute... the URL works fine if accessed directly without the proxy... the error message is usually the classic squid "name error... the cache was unable to resolve, blah blah blah"... the squid access log shows that there's TCP_MISS/503 errors when the problem occurs... AFAIK everything looks as if it was an invalid URL during the outage - but once again, the URLs are known good and perfectly accessible using non-squid means at the exact same moment in which squid is giving the dns error... as for troubleshooting, i've played with the conf file a lot, and recompiled squid several times, stripping it down a little more each time, tinkering with the configure options - the problem is not affected... BTW, i've compiled squid

dns 323 stopped mounting samba/cifs error 6

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: November 22, 2008
I've had a DNS 323 mounted to the filesystem with cifs and fstab for 6 months. the NAS has firmware version 1.05 and i'm running hardy 8.04. Lately I've been having issues where I get "Permission denied" issues when trying to unpack .rar files downloaded with the built-in bittorrent client on the NAS. These stick around a while then eventually go away with no explanation. Today my system stopped seeing the NAS. I can ping it, and I can access the admin website and FTP to it, but I cannot connect to it as a windows share or mount it. My XBOX still sees it too. I've tried tweaking the fstab line, mounting from the command line using smbmount, mount.cifs and mount commands. It previously gave me permissions error with mount error 13. I restored factory settings on the NAS and reset all the user privileges from the admin page. Now it gives me :~$ smbmount //140.180.129.69/Volume_1 /media/NAS -o user=dstrife,pass=XXXXX 0 0 retrying with upper case share name mount er

Howto: Setup a DNS server with bind

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: August 14, 2006
After looking on Ubuntu forum for an easy step-by-step howto for instaling a DNS server, I decided the best idea would probably be to write this howto myself.... So, here it is! Step 1: Install Ubuntu dapper, or use your WORKING installation. Step2: Install bind 9: Code: sudo apt-get install bind9 Step 3: Configure the main Bind files. Usually, if you install Bind from the source code, you will have to edit the file named.conf. However, Ubuntu provides you with a pre-configured Bind, so we will edit another file: Code: sudo vi /etc/bind/named.conf.local This is where we will insert our zones. By the way, a zone is a domain name that is referenced in the DNS server Insert this in the named.conf.local file: Code: # This is the zone definition. replace example.com with your domain name zone "example.com" { type master; file "/etc/bind/zones/example.com.db"; }; # This is the zone definition for reverse DNS. replace 0.168.192
