Yes, sure. It's just that bind configuration seems to be a significantly difficult part of getting Samba 4 working (many people seem to have trouble with it) so I was wondering if nsd was any better. I am using bind, but I don't really need dynamic DNS updates because I am only using Samba 4 for authentication of services on a couple of servers. i.e. no workstations. Static IPs. No machines joining/leaving etc. Since I have bind working, I am not looking to switch to nsd. I was just wondering why Lukasz chose it, but I suppose they were using it already, before implementing Samba 4. > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: samba-boun...@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-boun...@lists.samba.org] Im > Auftrag von Lukasz Zalewski > Gesendet: Freitag, 22.
