[Samba] Winbind problem, can resolve NT machine names to IP, but not IP t o name

[Andrew Lyon]

Hi,

Ive got samba 2.2.3a-6 setup on my Redhat 7.3 box, winbind is also
configured, wbinfo can resolve NT machine names to IP's, and IP's to NT
machine names:

wbinfo -h core
192.168.179.250 core

wbinfo -i 192.168.179.250
192.168.179.250 CORE @CORE 

In /etc/nsswitch.conf I have:

hosts:      files nisplus wins dns

I can ping core :

ping core
PING core (192.168.179.250) from 192.168.179.254 : 56(84) bytes of data.

But other things do not resolve 192.168.179.250 to CORE.

E.g.

w

 11:34am  up 30 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.13, 0.06, 0.02
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
Admin    pts/0    192.168.179.251  11:25am  0.00s  0.22s  0.01s  w 

Surely these should be resolved, also in my squid logs only IP is shown, not
NT hostname.
