[Samba] smbclient and Kerberos

I uninstalled avahi-daemon and disabled dnsmasq in NetworkManager.conf, restarted and still the same. THe nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf is now my nameserver(not using a DC, running apacheds ldap/kerberos combo and bind) and not 127.0.1.1

And please guys don't spend too much time on this. I am fine with accepting the fact that smbclient does honour the dns kdc lookup. Its more likely a quirk with my lab set up and I can alter my documentation accordingly.

Thank you Rowland, Mike for your time. If ever you are in Salford UK, the beers are on me.

No, try running this on your linux clients and DCs:

ps ax | grep [a]vahi

If you get any output, then avahi is running and could be getting in
the way, if it is running, try stopping it.

If you are using Network Manager, then this uses dnsmasq, open its conf
file, find the dnsmasq line and comment it out.

Check that the nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf is the DCs ipaddress.
