I am not able to get the Samba4 internal DNS server to respond to DNS
requests on the network.
I am running Samba4 4.1.0pre1-GIT-c1fb37d on my CentOS 6.3 system. I
followed the instructions here:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO
I configured Samba4 to use the internal DNS server. My Samba4 server is
192.168.0.13. Its full hostname is ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net. The realm is
ALLENLAN.NET.
The DNS testing section of the document passes:
$host -t SRV _ldap._tcp.allenlan.net.
_ldap._tcp.allenlan.net has SRV record 0 100 389 ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net.
$host -t SRV _kerberos._udp.allenlan.net.
_kerberos._udp.allenlan.net has SRV record 0 100 88
ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net.
$host -t A ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net.
ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net has address 192.168.0.13
I configured my Windows XP system with a DNS of 192.168.0.13 (Samba4
server).
When I perform the Windows command "nslookup ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net" (or
any variation of that) it reports:
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.13: Timed out
(above 3 messages repeat again)
Default servers are not available
Server: UnKnown
Address: 192.168.0.13
The Windows system can ping the Samba4 server by IP address.
Any help would be appreciated! More configuration information below.
/etc/resolv.conf:
domain allenlan.net
nameserver 192.168.0.13
/usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = ALLENLAN
realm = ALLENLAN.NET
netbios name = UBUNTU-AD
server role = active directory domain controller
dns forwarder = 192.168.0.1
interfaces = 192.168.0.13 127.0.0.1
bind interfaces only = yes
log level = 3
server services = smb, rpc, nbt, wrepl, ldap, cldap, kdc, drepl,
winbind, ntp_signd, kcc, dnsupdate, dns
/etc/hosts:
192.168.0.13 ubuntu-ad ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4
localhost4.localdomain4
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6
localhost6.localdomain6
$hostname
ubuntu-ad.allenlan.net
Thank you.
