[Samba] samba-upgradedns --dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ fix hard links / A Record / PTR Record left

[Vogel, Sven]

Hi,

i have the following problem.

I use the remote administration tools. I added a forward lookupzone A Record and would automtically add the suitable PTR Record.

A Record was added but i miss the PTR Record. I have a  foreward and reverse lookup zone. I use 4.1.6 and use now 4.1.11. Before it worked.

I read at the wiki out that the sam.ldb.d and dns/sam.ldb.d are hard links. I checked that and the hard link was broken.

In the wiki there was the information to use the samba-upgradedns -dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ. I used that but it DONT fix the hard links...


1.       Is this a Bug?

After that i added the hard links manually again.

All things looks okay. I use remote administration tools and add a A Record with PTR. A Record will be added but PTR are NOT created.


2.       Is there anything which i should check? Other hard links? Sam.ldb?

Any ideas?

Thanks for help
