[Samba] Name Resolve Order : parameter of smb.conf with testparm

[Marcio Oli]

I am writing this letter and I hope that I'll have answers about the
generation of smb.conf by the way of smb.conf.master with testparm command.
Like is described on page 5 of Samba3-HOWTO.pdf.


The situation is:
- The manual of smb.conf says that the default value of the parameter “name
resolve order” is “lmhosts host wins bcast”, but when I type the command
like:


# testparm -s smb.conf.master > smb.conf


     the following occurs: the smb.conf generated by this command don't
have the parameter “name resolve order” expressed, but in my
smb.conf.master is configured like:
…
name resolve order = lmhosts wins host bcast
...
At this situation, I think should appear the parameter because it is not a
default value. The order is different of default in smb.conf.master.


Thus, I would like to know if the documentation of samba is incorrect about
this configuration or testparm is with a problem to create the smb.conf.
