DNS Issue With SAMBA (kinit error)

[crazy01]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to setup a Debian fileserver with samba.

i have a Windows domain controller etc

The Domain Controller is called atmosphere
The Domain is ct.local

The error i get is below:

kinit administrator@CT.LOCAL
kinit(v5): Cannot resolve network address for KDC in requested realm while getting initial credentials

My /etc/resolv.conf file contains:

# generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!

search ct.local


nameserver 10.135.148.7
nameserver 10.135.148.1

and my /etc/hosts contains

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       X-Wing.ct.local X-Wing

not sure if this helps, but i can ping my server (ping atmosphere) but not the FQDN (ping atmosphere.ct.local)

whats in your /etc/krb5.conf file?

My experience has been that for best results in joining Samba > Domain, hostname --fqdn had better match the domain you are joining - which can be done via the hosts file.

In your case:

/etc/hosts:

<ip_address> x-wing.ct.local x-wing

So that hostname returns x-wing and hostname --fqdn = x-wing.ct.local. I'd also put your DC into the debian hosts file. Only have localhost resolve to 127.0.0.1 - and x-wing resolve to an IP that the DC can reach.

my /etc/krb5.conf contains

[realms]

CT.LOCAL = {
#kdc = 10.135.148.7
#admin_server = 10.135.147.7

kdc = atmosphere.ct.local
admin_server = atmosphere.ct.local
default_domain = ct.local
}
