Hi all
I'm trying to import our bind dns data for our domain into samba4 using
sambatool. Unfortunately, our domain has lots of (unnecessary)
subdomains, but that's hard to revert after a long time. So I will have
to parse the bind data and do a zonecreate for each subdomain that comes
out of bind. I can deal with this, but it's cumbersome :-(
The bug I'm talking about is this, when I was trying to add a subdomain,
I found that samba4 retains a trailing . (dot), the root of the fqdn
tree, which is usually omitted. To make this even weirder, I can add
foo.bar.com and foo.bar.com. and both will be listed as pszZoneName when
asking samba-tool for "dns zonelist localhost".
This is treated by samba as a different subdomain, so when I add
"x.foo.bar.com" and I later query the address for "x" in subdomain
"foo.bar.com.", I get an exception. (Which is also ugly, I'd rather get
a nice error message and proper exit code).
In bind's zone files, these entries look like:
$ORIGIN bar.com.
x.foo IN A 1.2.3.4
or
$ORIGIN foo.bar.com.
x IN A 1.2.3.4
regardless of whether I query for x.foo.bar.com or x.foo.bar.com. I
expect the same answer. But in the zone files, the trailing dot is
mandatory to indicate where the root of the tree starts (without the
dot, the $ORIGIN is appended for the full name)
my samba-tool version is: 4.0.5-4.el6.1
Cheers
Simon
