I'm upgrading a Samba server from 3.0.37 to 4.4.3, and it seems that on 4.4.3, the smbstatus utility no longer displays the NetBIOS name of connected clients.
On 3.0.37, smbstatus -p looks like this:
PID Username Group Machine
-------------------------------------------------------------------
30042 user grp client-name (10.0.0.1)
On 4.4.3, smbstatus -p looks like this:
PID Username Group Machine Protocol Version Encryption Signing
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
25540 user grp 10.0.0.1 (ipv4:10.0.0.1:52269) NT1 - -
The above output is from the two versions of Samba running on the same server (not simultaneously) with the same smb.conf (which is pretty basic). The client is the same in both outputs, and is a Windows 7 Pro machine.
I tried setting hostname lookups = yes in smb.conf, but this results in displaying the DNS name of the client rather than its NetBIOS name.
Is there a way to get smbstatus in 4.4.3 to display the NetBIOS name like before, or is this output format just the new normal? Or maybe this behavior is somehow specific to my environment?
