As is known, Samba creates or updates AD DNS record only when it has joining
to domain. When OS gets a new IP address via DHCP, there is no method for
automatically DNS upgate with Samba.
It's possible to update DNS with nsupdate-gss script, but it requests Kerberos
TKEY, derived through kinit utility or pam_winbind module. In both cases, a
domain admin password requests.
However, Windows updates DNS using machine account. I think, if Samba exports
a machine key somehow, it may be used for automatically DNS update via
nsupdate-gss.
Is someone knows how to export a machine key from Samba?
