4 This is the first preview release of Samba 4.12. This is *not*
5 intended for production environments and is designed for testing
6 purposes only. Please report any defects via the Samba bug reporting
7 system at https://bugzilla.samba.org/.
9 Samba 4.12 will be the next version of the Samba suite.
23 BIND9_FLATFILE deprecated
24 -------------------------
26 The BIND9_FLATFILE DNS backend is deprecated in this release and will
27 be removed in the future. This was only practically useful on a single
28 domain controller or under expert care and supervision.
30 This release removes the "rndc command" smb.conf parameter, which
31 supported this configuration by writing out a list of DCs permitted to
32 make changes to the DNS Zone and nudging the 'named' server if a new
33 DC was added to the domain. Administrators using BIND9_FLATFILE will
34 need to maintain this manually from now on.
