samba_dnsupdate and samba_spnupdate scripts fail

Hi Anatoliy,

given the bin/ prefix, I'm guessing you are running this from the
build directory?

whereas this is running from the install directory. So the problem
probably is that you have not done a 'make install'

What we need to do is change things so that "dns update command" in
loadparm is automatically set to use scripting/bin instead of the
install path when we run from the build directory.

hmm, if you have done a make install, then the
/home/ant/bin/rwdc/sbin/samba_dnsupdate script should have had this in
it:

  sys.path.insert(0, "/home/ant/bin/rwdc/lib/python2.6/site-packages")

can you check that?
