------- Comment #12 from vl at samba.org 2010-12-09 09:15 CST -------
Samba relies on the normal system DNS resolving routines to look up the IP
address of the Active Directory Domain Controller. This is because we do not
want to invent that as well, Samba is already a very large project. So if the
system DNS resolving routines tell us the Domain Controller is at IP Address
67.215.65.132, we try to connect to that. If there is no DC at that address,
the natural consequence is that your authentication ceases to work.
Please make sure that the system DNS routines resolve the correct IP addresses
for your Active Directory Domain Controllers. One way to do this is to put the
IP address of a Active Directory Domain Controller that also carries a DNS
server into the configuration line
nameserver <ip-address>
in the file /etc/resolv.conf. The exact way to configure this will depend on
the exact version of Unix you are using. Please also make sure that no DHCP or
BOOTP client program will change the settings in the file /etc/resolv.conf. One
way to do this on GNU/Linux is to set this file immutable by issuing
chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
if it is not possible to disable the dhcp client from attempting to change the
/etc/resolv.conf file.
I'm closing this bug as WORKSFORME. Please re-open if you still have that issue
after making sure that your DNS configuration is stable.
With best regards,
Volker Lendecke
