[Samba] Ubuntu client ddns failure [SOLVED]

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Ok steve, 

not if you make sure it all is as it should be. 

( from man resolv.conf ( 
domain =  Local domain name.
       Most queries for names within this domain can use short names relative to the local domain.  
       If no domain entry is present, the domain is determined from the  local  hostname  returned  by
=>>       gethostname(2); the domain part is taken to be everything after the first '.'.    < === 
=>       Finally, if the hostname does not contain a domain part, the root domain is assumed.  <==

exacly steves problem. 


so always like this. 

domain .... 
search ....  ...  .. 
nameserver .... 

works always correct and the order is also important. 

The address families hostname tries when looking up the FQDN, aliases
and network addresses of the host are determined by the configuration
of your resolver. For instance, on GNU Libc systems, the resolver
can be instructed to try IPv6 lookups first by using the inet6 option in
/etc/resolv.conf." 

so /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname and /etc/resolv.conf  needs to be correct. 
and hostname should have only the hostname ( not the domainname )
