Hi experts - I hope you can help me.
I am trying to resolve Windows host names (aka Netbios names, aka UNC names)
from a Linux box.
I have added dns wins to the hosts line at the nsswitch configuration file:
/etc/nsswitch.conf, and installed samba 3.2.2 and ran winbindd -D.
Now, when I go: wbinfo -N venus (where venus is a Windows UNC pc host name on
the LAN), it responds: 192.168.0.12 (which is venus' IP address). But, when I
go: ping venus, it says: ping: bad address: venus, and in the log file:
ffp/var/log/samba/log.winbindd
it says: winbindd/winbindd.c:request_len_recv(616)
request_len_recv: Invalid request size received: 1844 (expected 2096)
When I try to copy a file from the Windows PC to the Linux box, going:
rsync -v venus:e/my Documents/Temp/a.txt .
(where a.txt is the file I'd like to copy), it says: ssh: Could not resolve
hostname venus: Name or service not known, and in:
ffp/var/log/samba/log.winbindd it says again:
winbindd/winbindd.c:request_len_recv(616)
request_len_recv: Invalid request size received: 1844 (expected 2096).
More info: I am running a Linux system whose kernel version is:
2.6.12.6-arm1. It's a D-Link DNS-323 NAS box with an ARM processor.
I have stopped and restarted winbindd.
Your help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance - Gail
