[Samba] nmblookup -B localhost __SAMBA__ failing on samba-2.2.3a

[Joseph Loo]

One thing that is different in my old solaris configuration, I use
137/tcp not 137/udp.

Joseph,
     I have the following entries in the /etc/services file. I start
nnbd
and smbd via a startup script in init.d. Swat is started from inetd.conf
though.
/etc/servcies entries
netbios-ssn         139/tcp   # Samba ServicePorts
netbios-ns          137/udp   # Samba Service Port
swat           901/tcp   # SWAT - Admin tool for samba

/etc/inetd.conf entry
# samba-2.2.3a
swat stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/samba/sbin/swat swat

    I am assuming that this is what you mean. Nmbd, smbd and swat seem
to
work fine. Howerver, nmbd will not answer on the localhost address.
Which
is odd. Does samba even need to be able to talk to itself over the the
localhost address?

Have you added the entries in the inet and services entries?

nmbd is failing to start from swat. After looking through the source
code

I

found that swat uses  "nmblookup -B 127.0.0.1 __SAMBA__" command to
determing whether nmbd is running or not.
#nmblookup -B localhost __SAMBA__
querying __SAMBA__ on 127.0.0.1
name_query failed to find name __SAMBA__

However, nmbd is running and I can see/use shares on my MS machines.
When

I

run nmblookup -B azure __SAMBA__, it works fine.
#nmblookup -B azure __SAMBA__
querying __SAMBA__ on 170.191.20.27
170.191.20.27 __SAMBA__<00>

What am I doing wrong here????
I've included the output from ifconfig -a and my smb.conf file.
Any help would be great,
    Thanks in advance,
