We have successfully implemented a Samba Primary Domain Controller for a hybrid Windows-Linux environment. So now I am setting up dual-boot clients with Windows XP and Ubuntu 9.10.

Windows XP can be easily added to the Samba Domain. Everything is manageable. No worries. But when I try using likewise-open 4.1 to add the Ubuntu 9.10 to the samba domain, it cannot locate the domain controller. 

domainjoin-cli --loglevel verbose join MYDOMAIN root

Error: Unable to resolve DC name [code 0x00080026]

Resolving 'MYDOMAIN' failed. Check that the domain name is correctly entered. Also check that your DNS server is reachable, and that your system is configured to use DNS in nsswitch.

I even tried mydomain.com variations but to no avail. What am I missing ?

I read up a document on MSDN wherein it says that the Domain Controller creates some SRV records in the DNS server. I guess, I don't have them on my BIND. Do you think that is the problem ? If yes, can anyone please point out how and what SRV records need to be added.

Thanks.

I want to route all Internet access in my network through a Squid proxy server and authenticate and log all users. I want this to be a client-independent setting so that no one needs to do anything on their browsers or machines.

I have set my network gateway as the proxy server so that all traffic will be sent to it. I have done this using options in DHCP server.

  1. Now I tried using squid as a transparent proxy, but then it won't authenticate in that mode.
  2. I tried using iptables to route all traffic to port 3128 but it won't popup the authentication dialog box from SQUID.

  3. I tried telling DHCP to give WPAD to all clients by placing a WPAD file on a webserver containing the following for automatic proxy configuration on clients:

    Changes in dhcpd.conf

option wpad code 252 =test;

option wpad "\n\000";

option wpad "http://192.168.1.5/wpad.dat\n";

The WPAD file:

function FindProxyForURL(url,host)

{

return "PROXY squid-server-ip-address:3128 ; DIRECT ";

}

But the browsers (different versions of Firefox and IE) seem to ignore it. :(

What should I do ?

What do I need to do so that foobar resolution works in the same way as foobar.domain.com resolution on all clients? Basically my FQDN resolution works but short hostname resolution doesn't.

I am using BIND9.4.2 on OpenSuse 11.3 and this is an internal environment.

I am aware that there is similar thread but it deals with Windows environment and WINS and other things and so I didn't post there.
