I've had this problem for quite awhile. I'm attempting to go back
through the Samba issues that have been driving me crazy during my move
to a current release. Here is the issue:

- ---
# ./nmblookup RWJA-LM
querying RWJA-LM on XXX.XXX.XXX.255
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX RWJA-LM<00>
- ---

Looks good to me, though, really, it should be querying itself as it is
the WINS server. <shrug> not really a big deal though, if it gets the
right answer.

- ---
root at rwja [/products/samba/bin]
# ./rpcclient -U novosirj //RWJA-LM
Password:

cli_full_connection: failed to connect to //RWJA-LM<20> (0.0.0.0)
Cannot connect to server.  Error was NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL
- ---

Now why would that be? It clearly knows where RWJA is? The only
difference that I see here is that the <20> is there on the one and not
the other. Don't remember what that means. This is also broken for
LOCALHOST, incidentally. However, either of those works if I do
something like this:

- ---
root at rwja [/products/samba/bin]
# ./rpcclient -U novosirj //RWJA-LM -I XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
Password:

rpcclient $>
- ---

Anything anyone can tell me about this? As far as I know, this is not
broken on Linux on the two platforms I run for home use. It's not a big
deal, but it seems a little fishy. Config issue or bug?

This is on HP-UX 11i w/any recent version of Samba (possibly all of 3.0.x).
