Linux/Bind and W2K

[Tim Maestas]

	Make sure you have an allow-update statement on the
	zone that the Win2k is trying to update, allowing the
	domain controller to make the updates.  Although if
	this was the problem, you should have seen 'unapproved 
	update' messages in your syslog.  So, is the DC pointing
	directly to the master server for the zone it is trying
	to update?  If not (ie it is pointing to a slave for the
	zone) make sure that the MNAME field of the SOA record
	for the zone reflects correctly the master name
	server for the zone.
