[Samba] dNSTombstoned

[Christian Naumer]

Hello you all,
with the new samba version out that fixes some problems with dns
scavenging I have decided to try this feature.
I was specifically interested for our reverse zone (PTR records)

We have one zone for VPN clients 8.0.10.in-addr.arpa. I activated the
feature in the smb.conf as well as in the Windows DNS manager.
Entries are deleted (not visible in DNS manager) after a while.

You can still see them in ADSI-Edit. Those that are invisible have
"dNSTombstoned: TRUE" set the others have either FALSE or the attribute
is not there at all.

My problem is this if an entry was deleted and has "dNSTombstoned: TRUE"
it still has the same owner and therefore a new computer that got the
same IP from our VPN gateway can not set this entry to point to itself.

Shouldn't the code that deletes (or marks as deleted/tombstoned) unset
the owner? or is this by design?

Also "samba-tool domain tombstones expunge --tombstone-lifetime=0" does
not delete the records with "dNSTombstoned: TRUE". Is this a different
tombstone?

Until now what I do is delete the entries manually in ADSI. This works
as expected.

Any hint how to get this working?

Regards

Christian
