[Samba] nmblookup works by IP but not netbios name.
Hello list, The issue is as the topic says, following are details: the Samba server running as ADS member, NBT enabled on Windows machines, no WINS. Windows machines can find each other by 'nbtstat -a' but cannot find the Samba server. The Samba server can't find neither Windows machines nor itself by 'nmblookup -a netbios-name', error message is could not open file /var/lib/samba/unexpected.tdb...name_query failed to find name xxx; however 'nmblookup -A IP' does work for the Samba server. As a result, Windows clients can't access Samba server through netbios name (DNS works fine though, BTW). Any hint?

He is using an ancient version of samba (3.0.10-1.4E) though so the depreciation probably does not apply.

Apparently it was deprecated in favor of net sam set pwdmustchangenow. net sam set pwdmustchangenow was first introduced at Samba 3.0.25. From: Chris Beach chr...@pintys.com Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2011 19:57:26 -0400 I've got a file server (named success) running Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E. I've also got another file server (named happiness) running Samba version 3.3.15 and LDAP. I've got success pointed to happiness for LDAP in the smb.conf, and running a pdbedit -v user works, it shows the proper information...except for the password must expire, it seemingly ignores the policy that is set on success, ... [root@success]# pdbedit -P maximum password age account policy value for maximum password age is 90 The account policies in which maximum password age is included were always stored at local account_policy.tdb before Samba 3.0.21. After Samba 3.0.21, these are stored at LDAP when LDAP is used as passdb. That's the problem, I think. --- TAKAHASHI Motonobu mo...@samba.gr.jp -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

This is fixed now. I don't understand why the first several attempts failed. I had the installer use a Dell recovery DVD rather than a DVD ISO I pulled from Microsoft. Anyway, things should be ready for the user on Tuesday afternoon.
