Hi Jeremy,

These are the same steps from Samba4 HOWTO.

Assuming you have pulled the latest git and did make install with
prefix /usr/local/samba,

1. Do a new provision

# /usr/local/samba/sbin/provision \
                  --realm=<realm> \
                  --domain=<domain> \
                  --adminpass=<password> \
                  --server-role="domain controller"

2. Add following line to the "options" statement of named.conf

     tkey-gssapi-keytab "/usr/local/samba/private/dns.keytab";

3. Add following line to named.conf

     include "/usr/local/samba/private/named.conf";

4. (Re)Start named and make sure /etc/resolv.conf uses local nameserver.

5. Start samba

You can test if secure dynamic updates are working or not, by executing

# /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba_dnsupdate --verbose

If that works, then your DNS is set up correctly.
