[Samba] "Empty" DNS entry, no A record, can't delete or update

[Georg Bretschneider]

Hi Thomas,

same result as with 'samba-tool dns add'. I have to delete some kind of record, but there is non really. Just some meta-entry.

I finally found the location where everything is stored and used 'tdbtool' to edit the database.
Somehow for said hostA there were two entries, each with a different record number, in the database, one not so complete. I deleted both and were then able to re-add an A record by GUI or 'samba-tool'.

cd [install prefix]/samba/private/sam.ldb.d/
tdbtool -H tdb://DC=DOMAINDNSZONES,DC=DOMAIN,DC=LOCAL.ldb

It uses 'vi' to edit the files.


Best regards
Georg
