Samba4/DNS

Overview

This document describes how to setup DNS for Samba 4. It assumes that Samba is already installed in INSTALL_DIR (e.g. /usr/local/samba).

Prerequisites

% yum install bind

Configuration

Copy zone data file generated by Samba:

% cd $INSTALL_DIR/private
% cp example.com.zone /var/named/dynamic

Edit zone data file /var/named/dynamic/example.com.zone:

$ORIGIN domain1.com.
$TTL 1W
@                       IN SOA  example.com. root.example.com. (
                                2009040816      ; serial
                                2D              ; refresh
                                4H              ; retry
                                6W              ; expiry
                                1W )            ; minimum

Create reverse mapping file /var/named/192.168.1.rev:

$ORIGIN 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.
$TTL    1W
@                       IN SOA  example.com. root.example.com. (
                                01              ; serial
                                2D              ; refresh
                                4H              ; retry
                                6W              ; expiry
                                1W )            ; minimum

                        IN NS                   ns1.example.com.

100                     IN PTR                  ns1.example.com.
101                     IN PTR                  samba1.example.com.

Set file ownership:

% chown named.named /var/named/dynamic/example.com.zone
% chown named.named /var/named/192.168.1.rev

Copy zone configuration file:

% cp named.conf /etc/named-samba.conf
% chown named.named /etc/named-samba.conf

Edit /etc/named.conf:

options {
        #listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; };
        #listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
        #allow-query     { localhost; };
        ...
};

include "/etc/named-samba.conf";

Edit /etc/named-samba.conf:

zone "domain1.com." IN {
        type master;
        file "/var/named/dynamic/example.com.zone";
};

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa." IN {
        type master;
        file "192.168.1.rev";
};

% service named restart
