Right, I see, you want me to embed the error within the response, so as
to not confuse top level errors. It seems that in other cases in the
file wb_*_recv isn't supposed to fail, and I was just following the
pattern of the others.

The flags from the original request are passed down to winbind, who will
correctly interpret them. The only thing I modify is the inbound flags
(which are separate from the outbound ones e.g. DS_RETURN_FLAT_NAME),
which would only affect the default format of the response.


In regards to why it doesn't work with NETBIOS, I noticed this log
(searching for a Windows DC):

/home/ubuntu/samba/bin/smbd: 10.9.0.11 (ipv4:10.9.0.11:55217) connect to

source3/libsmb/clidgram.c: nbt_getdc_send

        state->nmbd_pid = pidfile_pid(lp_pid_directory(), "nmbd");
        if (state->nmbd_pid == 0) {
                DEBUG(3, ("No nmbd found\n"));
                tevent_req_nterror(req, NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED);
                return tevent_req_post(req, ev);
        }

So it seems that it relies on nmbd running in order to make any further
identification. This seems to be the expected code path, so selftest
must have some additional records or some other method that circumvents
this. I'm also not confident about the site-awareness of the above calls
that are being triggered. It is possible that someone actually has to do
the NETBIOS name to DNS name conversion at some layer to get this right.
The goal for me was to mostly just plumb the call and ensure the single
domain case works as expected.


Cheers,
