[Samba] smbclient is SLOWWWWWW; getaddrinfo failed

[toddandmargo]

# rpm -qa samba
samba-4.6.7-0.fc26.x86_64


Hi All,

# smbclient -L FedoraServer -U workcentre -W xxxxx

takes about 18 second to ask for the password.  (Windows is slow too.)

Me thinks it has to do with this error from /var/log/samba/samba-log.192.168.255.12

       get_mydnsfullname: getaddrinfo failed for name FedoraServer.xxxxx.local [Unknown error]

When I put a tail on the above log, this is where it hangs until the password prompt comes up


How do I fix this?

Many thanks,
-T
