Hi,
from the man page of net
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages-3/net.8.html:
LOOKUP
LOOKUP HOST HOSTNAME [TYPE]
Lookup the IP address of the given host with the specified type (netbios
suffix). The type defaults to 0x20 (workstation).
Has it to be
'net lookup tb3 HOSTNAME <00>'
or
'net lookup tb3 tb3 <00>'
?
The help of net is showing:
deveis # net help lookup
net lookup [host] HOSTNAME[#<type>]
gives IP for a hostname
So:
'net lookup tb3 HOSTNAME#<00>'?
'net lookup tb3 HOSTNAME #<00>'?
In all cases there is an error with the specified type or the type is
not recognized, because
'net -d10 lookup tb3 HOSTNAME #<00>'
is showing:
[2007/03/26 01:05:16, 10] libsmb/namequery.c:internal_resolve_name(1166)
internal_resolve_name: looking up tb3#20 (sitename (null))
[2007/03/26 01:05:16, 10] lib/gencache.c:gencache_get(226)
Returning valid cache entry: key = NBT/TB3#20, value =
192.168.0.15:0, timeout = Mon Mar 26 01:09:08 2007
[2007/03/26 01:05:16, 5] libsmb/namecache.c:namecache_fetch(214)
name tb3#20 found.
net is looking for the type '<#20>' and not the type <#00>.
If using
'net -d10 lookup tb3 "<00>"'
I can see a lot of
[2007/03/26 01:09:21, 2] lib/util_tdb.c:tdb_log(675)
tdb(unnamed): tdb_open_ex: could not open file
/var/lock/samba/unexpected.tdb: No such file or directory
in the debug output and unexpected.tdb isn't created from samba.
I'm trying to debug a problem where nmblookup is showing the right ip
address but 'net lookup' an old one.
