Feature Request: nsupdate-gss

[Trever L. Adams]

Hello,

I am wondering if someone would be willing to package
http://samba.org/~tridge/junkcode/tsig-gss/ and maybe work with the
ddclient people to add support for adding A and AAAA records with this.
(I do not know if bind shipped in Fedora has the tsig updates or not,
but it should.) If possible, can this be modified to do reverse DNS
setup as well and have ddclient do that setup as well?

I have attached my beginning of a spec file. I cannot tell you if it is
any good or not.

Thank you for whoever is willing to pick this up.

Trever

I'm not sure what the utility of this is. nsupdate in Fedora already has 
support for GSS-TSIG.

For an example of its use, 
http://freeipa.org/page/Dynamic_updates_with_GSS-TSIG#Configuring_the_client

Does this nsupdate-gss feature do something that standard nsupdate does not?

Nothing at all. I was simply unaware of this tool, doing searches for
TSIG and GSS in software update/install doesn't show this.

Thank you for making me aware of this. The only remaining thing I need
is support for this in ddclient (or NetworkManager, etc.).

Again, thank you for correcting my ignorance. I am sorry for the noise.

NetworkManger has support for running scripts when an interface comes
up (goes down), read the docs, it should be easy to create your
nsupdate script and drop it in the right place.

Simo.

I am looking at that and dhcp documentation now. My question is would
nsupdate be better called by NetworkManager or dhcp? From documentation
on the web, it seems I can' trust /etc/dhcp/dhclient.d to work from
NetworkManger. But from the documentation, I don't seem to be able to
get IP address change info via NetworkManager, but it seems I can from
dhcp. The url below seems to suggest the NM does NOT give a renew
message of any kind.

Thanks for any pointers,

I do have one question, will this work for AAAA addresses and the
equivalent PTR?

If so, then yes, it is as you suspected that it will do everything the
other will do.

I believe it does, though I don't have an example handy.
