lmhosts file lookup no worky?

[Michael Blinn]

Hello! I posted this message to samba-ntdom this morning but wanted to get
extra input, as I appear to be stuck again:

I have the following lmhosts file:

192.168.168.2 MAIL
192.168.168.3 NTSERVER
192.168.168.2 MAIL#1b
192.168.168.2 MAIL#1c
192.168.169.2 CVSERVER
192.168.169.2 CVSERVER#1b
192.168.169.2 CVSERVER#1c

When I start up samba, it appears to read the lmhosts file:

mail:/usr/local/samba/lib# /etc/init.d/samba start
Starting CVILLE domain server: nmbd.
Starting CVILLE file sharing: smbd.
mail:/usr/local/samba/lib#   add_name_to_subnet: Added netbios name
CVSERVER<00> with first IP 192.168.169.2 ttl=0 nb_flags= 4 to subnet

  add_name_to_subnet: Added netbios name CVSERVER<1c> with first IP
192.168.169.2 ttl=0 nb_flags= 4 to subnet REMOTE_BROADCAST_SUBNET
  add_name_to_subnet: Added netbios name CVSERVER<00> with first IP
192.168.169.2 ttl=494022 nb_flags=44 to subnet WINS_SERVER_SUBNET
  add_name_to_subnet: Added netbios name CVSERVER<03> with first IP
192.168.169.2 ttl=494022 nb_flags=44 to subnet WINS_SERVER_SUBNET
  add_name_to_subnet: Added netbios name CVSERVER<20> with first IP
192.168.169.2 ttl=494022 nb_flags=44 to subnet WINS_SERVER_SUBNET

However (I currently have this machine NOT as PDC for testing purposes):

mail:/usr/local/samba/lib# nmblookup cvserver
doing parameter security = server
doing parameter preferred master = no
doing parameter domain master = no
doing parameter local master = no
doing parameter domain logons = no
doing parameter logon home = \\MAIL\%U
doing parameter logon script = startup.bat
doing parameter wins support = yes
doing parameter unix password sync = yes
doing parameter passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd
doing parameter passwd chat = *password* %n\n *password* %n\n *successfull*
doing parameter allow trusted domains = yes
doing parameter password server = ntpdc
doing parameter name resolve order = lmhosts bcast
doing parameter remote browse sync = 192.168.169.2

-- Is Samba ignoring the lmhosts file for resolution of NetBIOS names?
