W2K Active Directory and BIND on Sun

[Ian Edwards]

Hi,

I am trying to set up BIND (8.2.2p5) on Solaris to support Active
Directory on a Windows 2000 server.

I originally had this in named.conf

    zone "panorama.com" {
	    type master;
	    file "panorama.zone";
	    allow-update {
		    panorama;
	    };
    };

This overwrote the (neatly formatted) panorama.zone file that I had.
Is this the expected behaviour ?
(I suppose it was logical as it has to store the updates somewhere.)

Looking in the BIND FAQ it suggests using :

    zone "_msdcs.panorama.com" {
	    type master;
	    file "_msdcs.panorama.zone";
	    check-names ignore;
	    allow-update {
		    panorama;
	    };
    };

Based on what was dumped into the 'panorama.zone' I also created entries
for _sites.panorama.com, _tcp.panorama.com and _udp.panorama.com.
Are these necessary ?

Is there a document that says, in simple terms, how to set up BIND to
work with Active Directory ?

Thanks,
Ian.
