I remind both reporters of this bug, that I'm still waiting for the
answer to this question - does it work for you with no nmbd running?

netbios is obsolete and can't work in environments where no IPv4 network
is available.  To me it is easier to just drop nmbd from the default
config and be done with it, while for "proper" fix it might require
quite a lot of additional tweaking.

Thanks,
