And this is what I do believe is causing it :

# grep -i getadd samba-log.192.168.255.12
interpret_string_addr_internal: getaddrinfo failed for name FedoraServer.alpine.local (flags 34) [Name or service not known]
get_mydnsfullname: getaddrinfo failed for name FedoraServer.alpine.local [Unknown error]


I have a local DNS configured.  How show I configure smb.conf?

# host FedoraServer
FedoraServer.xxxx.local has address 192.168.255.12

# host 192.168.255.12
12.255.168.192.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer FedoraServer.xxxx.local.
