I run Debian in a VirtualBox virtual machine and often find that I am
unable to resolve the hostname of the system from my Windows host. This
is always caused by nmbd not running in the virtual machine.

I'm attaching my log.nmbd file; this was produced with 'log level' set
to 3. It appears that nmbd was launched but then immediately failed with
these messages:

[2010/03/29 20:45:01,  3] nmbd/nmbd.c:948(main)
  Opening sockets 137
[2010/03/29 20:45:01,  3] ../lib/util/util_net.c:56(interpret_string_addr_internal)
  interpret_string_addr_internal: getaddrinfo failed for name 0.0.0.0 [Address family for hostname not supported]
[2010/03/29 20:45:01,  0] nmbd/nmbd.c:693(open_sockets)

I have tried to correlate this time with other log messages and it
appears that the system was still booting when the message occurred.
Here are the syslog messages from around the same time:

# Sample configuration file for the Samba suite for Debian GNU/Linux.
#
#
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options most of which 
# are not shown in this example
#
# Some options that are often worth tuning have been included as
# commented-out examples in this file.
#  - When such options are commented with ";", the proposed setting
#    differs from the default Samba behaviour
#  - When commented with "#", the proposed setting is the default
#    behaviour of Samba but the option is considered important
#    enough to be mentioned here
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
# "testparm" to check that you have not made any basic syntactic 
# errors. 
# A well-established practice is to name the original file
# "smb.conf.master" and create the "real" config file with
# testparm -s smb.conf.master >smb.conf
# This minimizes the size of the really used smb.conf file
# which, according to the Samba Team, impacts performance
# However, use this with caution if your smb.conf file contains nested
# "include" statements. See Debian bug #483187 for a case
# where using a master file is not a good idea.

#======================= Global Settings =======================

[global]

## Browsing/Identification ###

# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
   workgroup = SAM

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
#   server string = %h server
server string = The fire in his eyes had become a cold wind, he blinked away tears.

# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server
#   wins support = no

# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
;   wins server = w.x.y.z

# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.
   dns proxy = no

# What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host names
# to IP addresses
;   name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast

#### Networking ####

# The specific set of interfaces / networks to bind to
# This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask;
# interface names are normally preferred
;   interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0

# Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks; you must use the
# 'interfaces' option above to use this.
# It is recommended that you enable this feature if your Samba machine is
# not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself.  However, this
# option cannot handle dynamic or non-broadcast interfaces correctly.
;   bind interfaces only = yes



#### Debugging/Accounting ####

# This tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
;   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
log file = /var/log/samba/log.smbd

# Cap the size of the individual log files (in KiB).
   max log size = 1000

# If you want Samba to only log through syslog then set the following
# parameter to 'yes'.
#   syslog only = no

# We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog. Everything
# should go to /var/log/samba/log.{smbd,nmbd} instead. If you want to log
# through syslog you should set the following parameter to something higher.
   syslog = 0

# Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace
   panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d


####### Authentication #######

# "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account
# in this server for every user accessing the server. See
# /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/ServerType.html
# in the samba-doc package for details.
#   security = user

# If you are using encrypted passwords, Samba will need to know what
# password database type you are using.

   obey pam restrictions = yes

# This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the Unix
# password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
# passdb is changed.
   unix password sync = yes

# For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
# parameters must be set (thanks to Ian Kahan <<kahan at informatik.tu-muenchen.de> for
# sending the correct chat script for the passwd program in Debian Sarge).

# 'passwd program'. The default is 'no'.

# Another common choice is storing the profile in the user's home directory
# (this is Samba's default)

# It specifies the location of a user's home directory (from the client
# point of view)

# in the [netlogon] share
# NOTE: Must be store in 'DOS' file format convention

# RPC pipe.  The example command creates a user account with a disabled Unix
# password; please adapt to your needs

; add machine script  = /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -c "%u machine account" -d /var/lib/samba -s /bin/false %u

# This allows Unix groups to be created on the domain controller via the SAMR
# RPC pipe.  
; add group script = /usr/sbin/addgroup --force-badname %g

########## Printing ##########

# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
