While this only worked on three of the four machines I tried, it's better than nothing. The machines I tired this on were, two are eBox 1.4, one Ubuntu Karmic Server, and FreeNAS 0.71 on FreeBSD 7.2.
apt-get install winbind (eBox 1.4 has its own version)
nano /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files dns => hosts: files dns wins
winbindd
DONE! It should immediately start working. Funny thing is, the machine it doesn't work in for me is the only machine I actually need it working in bleh
.
In FreeBSD, /etc/nsswitch.conf is located in /var/etc/nsswitch.conf <- correct me if I'm wrong, the machine's offline at the moment.
