[Samba] Ubuntu, ping host by its NetBios name (Samba from sources) !
I have built from sources Samba4 4.4.4 version operation at Ubuntu 14.04 x64. There are three daemons are started: nmbd, smbd, winbindd. I excluded 'dns' from /etc/nsswitch.conf, 'host' line and added 'wins' . When I try ping some of Lan host by NetBios, I get ping: unknown host xxxxxx. So, how is to make possible to ping host at Ubuntu 14.04 by NetBios name which can be resolved by broadcast and if this type of resolving doesn' t do resolution, then switch to Samba4 wins ?

You are trying to ping by the machines netbios name using wins, the machine netbios name is also the machines hostname, so by replacing 'wins' with 'dns' the ping will work, so why bother? Rowland

I need that hosts would be resolved at Ubuntu either using broadcast or using wins. The same as Windows behaviour: DNS, NetBIOS lookup, WINS, etc. And if Dns resolving are failed, NetBIOS lookup or WINS is engaged. CperviceSpb
