Hmm. I just installed bind9utils but it doesn't come with
/usr/bin/nsupdate.. However I then found the 'dnsutils' package, which
does! :) (debian jessie)

I can now successfully run "/usr/local/samba/sbin/samba_dnsupdate
--verbose"!

Well, I say successfully - I am now getting many "tsig verify failure"
errors - but I'm further forward at least :) I'm sure I have seen much on
the list and on the wiki regarding these errors, so when I get back later
on I will try to figure those out..

The first error has been found, at least - and I will add the 'dnsutils'
package to my other DCs also, as well as my build notes :)

Many thanks

Jonathan
