From: Tobias Schliebitz on 9 Jan 2010 23:40 Dear all, I'm currently trying out Samba4.0.0-alpha10. Because I'm unfamiliar with the Berkeley Internet Name Demon (bind), I've so far been using dnsmasq on my home network. I just want to inform eveybody who cares that it's possible to set up Samba4 and dnsmasq so as to allow domain logons from a Windows 7 workstation. Generally, I followed the how-to on the samba-wiki (http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO). But I skipped Step 8 (Configure Server-side DNS) and put most of the entries in what is called YOUR.ZONE.conf into my /etc/hosts, which is in turn read by dnsmasq and propagated to the network clients. Here is what it looks like: --- 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost 192.168.100.1 yoda.heimatnetz.priv yoda [... description of my network clients ...] 192.168.100.1 gc._msdcs.heimatnetz.priv gc._msdcs 192.168.100.1 _gc._tcp.heimatnetz.priv _gc._tcp 192.168.100.1 _gc._tcp.Default-First-Site-Name._sites.heimatnetz.priv _gc._tcp.Default-First-Site-Name._sites 192.168.100.1 _ldap._tcp.Default-First-Site-Name._sites.gc._msdcs.heimatnetz.priv _ldap._tcp.Default-First-Site-Name._sites.gc._msdcs 192.168.100.1 _gc._tcp.gc._msdcs.heimatnetz.priv _gc._tcp.gc._msdcs 192.168.100.1 _ldap._tcp.gc._msdcs.heimatnetz.priv _ldap._tcp.gc._msdcs 192.168.100.1 _ldap._tcp.heimatnetz.priv _ldap._tcp 192.168.100.1 _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs.heimatnetz.priv _ldap._tcp.dc._msdcs --- Of course, you must be very careful with any MS-specific entry containig an underscore ( _ ). Then the /etc/dnsmasq.conf file: --- interface=eth0 domain-needed bogus-priv filterwin2k dhcp-authoritative domain=heimatnetz.priv dhcp-range=192.168.100.200,192.168.100.250,12h dhcp-option=1,255.255.255.0 # Subnet Mask dhcp-option=3,192.168.100.3 # Router/Gateway dhcp-option=6,192.168.100.1 # Domain Server (DNS) dhcp-option=44,192.168.100.1 # Netbios Name Server (WINS) dhcp-option=4,192.168.100.1 # Time Server --- Naturally, the lines concerning DNS and WINS are especially important. No special entries in the smb.conf file besides those created by provisioning are necessary, but the entries there ought to match your network configuration. Mine are: --- [globals] netbios name = YODA server string = Samba 4 auf yoda.heimatnetz.priv workgroup = HEIMATNETZ realm = HEIMATNETZ.PRIV server role = domain controller unix charset = ISO8859-1 dos charset = UTF8 log level = 0 time server = yes [netlogon] path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol/heimatnetz.priv/scripts read only = no [sysvol] path = /usr/local/samba/var/locks/sysvol read only = no --- I hope this helps someone save some time, as it cost me many hours to find this way.
