This worked fine in every previous openSUSE version I have been running but seems to be unreliable in openSUSE 13.1. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Disable the firewall # iptables -L Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination # iptables -L -t nat Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT) target prot opt source destination 2. Enable bridging # cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-br0 BOOTPROTO='dhcp' BRIDGE='yes' BRIDGE_FORWARDDELAY='0' BRIDGE_PORTS='enp8s0' BRIDGE_STP='on' BROADCAST='' ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='' IPADDR='' MTU='' NAME='' NETMASK='' NETWORK='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='auto' USERCONTROL='no' # cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-enp8s0 BOOTPROTO='none' BROADCAST='' ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='' IPADDR='' MTU='' NAME='RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller' NETMASK='' NETWORK='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='manual' USERCONTROL='no' 3. Install the samba-client RPM # rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libnss_wins.so.2 samba-client-4.1.3-3.12.1.x86_64 4. Enable WINS name lookup # grep wins /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files wins mdns_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns 5. Test WINS name lookup $ nmblookup ubuntu-vm 192.168.1.124 ubuntu-vm<00> $ host ubuntu-vm Host ubuntu-vm not found: 2(SERVFAIL) $ ping ubuntu-vm ping: unknown host ubuntu-vm Actual Results: Name lookup via WINS not working. Expected Results: Name lookup via WINS working. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
