[Samba] bug in samba 4.1.17 ? changed CNAME record to other host

[Peter Serbe]

Hi Louis, 

have You noticed my thread "How to get rid of misspelled DNA entry?" a 
few days ago? You stumbled across exactly the same issue. samba-tool 
doesn't seem to work on DNS entries other than exactly the same domain 
(here: domain.tld - and not: internal.domain.tld). I don't know whether 
this is a bug or just a simple limitation. 

You can manipulate the entries either by using ldbtools or by using 
some LDAP tools. Sebastian pointed me at Apache Directory Tool, which 
solved my issue easily. 

Nevertheless I do agree, that it was better, if samba-tool could access 
these entries without some kind of filtering of the data. 

Best regards
Peter
