Samba not announcing netbios name

[epretorious]

Instead of responding the netbios name configured in /usr/local/etc/smb.conf...

Code:

[eric@freenas /]$ cat /usr/local/etc/smb.conf
[global]
    encrypt passwords = yes
    dns proxy = no
    strict locking = no
    read raw = yes
    write raw = yes
    oplocks = yes
    max xmit = 65535
    deadtime = 15

    syslog = yes
    load printers = no

    dos charset = CP437
    unix charset = UTF-8
    log level = 10
    aio read size = 1
    aio write size = 1

[Pretorious]
    path = /mnt/main/pretorious
    printable = no
    veto files = /.snap/.windows/
    comment = Pretorious Family CIFS File Share
    writeable = yes
    browseable = yes
    inherit owner = no
    inherit permissions = no
    vfs objects =  
    hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/24
    inherit acls = Yes
    map archive = No
    map readonly = no
    nfs4:mode = special
    nfs4:acedup = merge
    nfs4:chown = yes

Samba [FreeNAS-8.0.2-RELEASE-i386 (8288)] is announcing the system's hostname instead:

Code:

[eric@freenas /]$ smbclient -L pretorious
Enter eric's password: 
Connection to pretorious failed (Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL)

[eric@freenas /]$ smbclient -L freenas
Enter eric's password:

	PRETORIOUS           Pretorious File Share

	Workgroup            Master
	---------            -------
	PRETORIOUS

Ideas?

I think this is a known bug that is being fixed in 8.0.3. There's an 8.03 BETA-2 available if you want to give it a try. BETA-3 should be out anytime now.

Here's the link:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/files/FreeNAS-8.0.3/

Thanks, protosd.

I wasn't able to find an open bug report for netbios name bug. Has this ticket already been resolved? Will the fix be committed to the 8.0.2-RELEASE branch? (I really don't like to change branches just for bug fixes - It's not a good sysadmin practice, IMHO.)

Hi Epretorious,

I could be wrong about the bug report, but I think this post is what I was thinking about:
http://forums.freenas.org/showthrea...-single-hostname&highlight=christmas+hostname

My guess is it won't be backported to 8.0.2, but upgrading to 8.03 should be worth upgrading to, it fixes a lot of little stuff that needs fixing, and probably won't fix a lot of other little stuff that should be fixed.

...but upgrading to 8.03 should be worth upgrading to, it fixes a lot of little stuff that needs fixing, and probably won't fix a lot of other little stuff that should be fixed.

LOL!

Thanks, protosd. :)

I did a clean install [FreeNAS-8.0.3-RC1-x64 (9250)] but that didn't seem to fix it:

Code:

[eric@freenas /]$ smbclient -L nas1
Enter eric's password: 
Connection to nas1 failed (Error NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL)

Have I missed something?

Anything changed with later updates?

I use:

FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p9 (FREENAS.amd64) #0: Tue Jun 12 08:57:14 PDT 2012

and this version does EXACTLY the same as per subject - only announcing the system's hostname instead

Anybody?
Surely somebody (should) know?
