I just completed the initial setup of Samba44 on Freebsd-11 using pkg.
 I have a simple bash script that I use to do this and it mostly went
well.  However, mostly means that some questions remain.

At one point my script does this:

host -t  _msdcs

which returns this:

host: invalid type: _msdcs.BROCKLEY-2016.HARTE-LYNE.CA

As I see the above described behaviour on the current DC (samba43) it
does not appear to be fatal but I would like to know what this means.

I also see this:

samba-tool dns query localhost $HLL_REALM @ ALL

and

Why does this occur and how is it fixed?  Is this a configuration
omission in our smb4.conf?

Thanks
