Do you mean I need to give you steps to repeat the problem? I guess that would be:
1. Edit the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] wins dns mdns4 2. Set up samba, with /etc/samba/smb.conf including wins support = yes name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast dns I can supply a full smb.conf if needed. 3. Set up fetchmail as a daemon, logging to syslog. 4. On receipt of mail or other output from fetchmail, the log will be from nss_wins instead of fetchmail. I imagine you can substitute fetchmail with other things which do similar DNS lookups, mountd for example seems to work, although ssh doesn't seem to trigger it and I would imagine it does dns lookups. Perhaps ssh doesn't read nsswitch.conf. -- winbind (libnss_wins) calls openlog when it shouldn't https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/148459 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
