[Bug 383636] [NEW] DDNS updates aren't automated

[ooboyle]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: likewise-open5

Using Ubuntu 9.0.4 (Jaunty) I’ve successfully installed likewise-open5
and joined a domain. When this join operation completed and the server
was rebooted, I expected that the client would automatically update our
dynamic DNS servers (MS-DNS), but this didn’t happen.

When I manually run the lw-update-dns tool, the update is sent and the
client becomes registered (though the client used a server in a
different AD site).

The lw-update-dns tool should run automatically when joining the domain,
after a reboot, and then on a regular basis to keep the records fresh.

For reference, my Ubuntu server has been assigned a static IP address
and is not using DHCP or BOOTP.

On *nix systems, the DHCP client is not used on a interface with a
statically assigned address as it is in Windows. The DHCP client in
Linux doesn't know that it should send a DDNS update. The lw-update-dns
tool should be compensating for this.

Regards,
Oliver
