What I think we need to do is extend
source4/scripting/bin/samba_upgradedns to cope with this situation.  In
your case, we need to create the account for BIND9 and the special dns
directory, but we don't need to create the actual partition.  This can
be detected based on inspecting the directory. 

We should then put this into the tail of the join.py code. 

Amitay,

As this is your script, do you have any further thoughts?

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
