Package: smbclient
Version: 3.0.28-2+b1
Severity: normal
I'm lucky enough to be using Verizon DSL for my network connection,
which means a hostname *always* resolves, if to nothing else than to
Verizon's search servers. In this latter case, the NXDOMAIN is
returned, after the bad matches. Since this is a problem for my local
SMB server (network-attached storage), in /etc/samba/smb.conf I've
set:
name resolve order = bcast
This worked for a little while, but in the last couple of versions in
sid, it's been going to DNS again.

Hello,
This is an old bug. I'm closing it as upstream won't re-introduce the
old behavior.
To have a similar behavior (hostname resolution using wins), ensure
that the host line in /etc/nsswitch.conf includes the "wins" word.
