[Samba] Samba 4 Bind DNS on CentOS 7

[John Gardeniers]

Hi Brady,

I realise that but the only named.conf to be found on the system is my 
newly created /etc/named.conf. Either something screwed up when 
installing the Sernet RPMs, which is really pretty unlikely given that 
everything else is working, or the file was not included in the package.

regards,
John
