Hello Everyone,

i have a problem with the current (yesterday) git releases of samba4 and 
bind9 (git-tridge) regarding dynamic dns updates.

When i join a Windows Client in the fresh installed Active Directory i 
don't get a DNS entry in Bind.

Last Friday i asked about this problem on #samba-technical and got the 
information, that i need a patched bind. After that a fetched the bind 
sources from tridge. But i have the same problem again.

To find the problem, i added a custom entry in dns_update_list and 
startet "samba_dnsupdate --verbose" and got this result:

    /Calling nsupdate for A w-pc190 192.168.2.190
    Outgoing update query:
    ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: UPDATE, status: NOERROR, id:      0
    ;; flags: ; ZONE: 0, PREREQ: 0, UPDATE: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
    ;; UPDATE SECTION:
    w-pc190.        900    IN    A    192.168.2.190

    Check your Kerberos ticket, it may have expired./

Before running that command, i did a "kinit administrator at PETEX.SMB" and 
a klist -e after that.

    /Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0/
    /Default principal: administrator at PETEX.SMB/

    /Valid starting     Expires            Service principal/
    /05/11/10 11:41:42  05/12/10 11:41:40  krbtgt/PETEX.SMB at PETEX.SMB/
    /    Etype (skey, tkt): ArcFour with HMAC/md5, ArcFour with HMAC/md5 /

So here i am. Here some details about my stuff:

My System:
* Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x86_64 kernel-2.6.32-22
* Samba4 (Samba 4.0.0alpha12-GIT-e4ce727)
* bind9 (BIND 9.6.1-P2 from tridge)

The Setup:
I followed these instructions to setup my system.
* http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO

The samba4-machine is the only domain controller so far. There are no 
Windows Servers involved. The test client is a Windows XP Pro 32-bit VM.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards,
Robert Perschl.
