[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#462803: smbclient: mount.cifs not respecting name resolve order

[Mike Marsh]

Package: smbclient
Version: 3.0.28-2+b1
Severity: normal

I'm lucky enough to be using Verizon DSL for my network connection,
which means a hostname *always* resolves, if to nothing else than to
Verizon's search servers.  In this latter case, the NXDOMAIN is
returned, after the bad matches.  Since this is a problem for my local
SMB server (network-attached storage), in /etc/samba/smb.conf I've
set:

name resolve order = bcast

This worked for a little while, but in the last couple of versions in
sid, it's been going to DNS again.
