[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#825380: winbind: Netbios name resolution can't find Windows clients

[Tim Boundy]

I've noticed that my Windows client is advertising multiple entries:

root at fusion:~# nmblookup prodigy
192.168.0.55 prodigy<00>
192.168.56.1 prodigy<00>

It is doing this because there is a virtual network switch (VirtualBox) and
it's accessible through either IP address. If I disable the virtual switch,
only one entry is advertised, and ping resolves the netbios name. If I
re-enable the virtual switch, ping stops resolving on Stretch systems. It
looks like something changed between Jessie and Stretch - Jessie wasn't
phased by the potential ambiguity, Stretch just gave up.
