Sadly old Samba versions suffer from BUG 12451 and +mark dynamic DNS records as static and static records as dynamic. +While a dbcheck rule may be able to find these in the future, +currently a reliable test has not been devised. + +Finally, there is not currently a command-line tool to enable this +feature, currently it should be enabled from the DNS Manager tool from +Windows. Also the feature needs to have been enabled by setting the smb.conf +parameter "dns zone scavenging = yes". REMOVED FEATURES ================ |
