[Bug 1280025] Re: libnss-winbind should be installed per default on desktop systems

[Søren Holm]

Ok. I'd like to do that then. Do you have any pointers to the meta-data
describing deskttop-flavor packages and how to edit /etc/ configuration
files ?

 Install the package per default and add "wins" to the hosts-line in
/etc/nsswitch.conf should be enough afaik.

Title:
  libnss-winbind should be installed per default on desktop systems

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  Windows name-resolution does not work out-of-the-box on kubuntu and ubuntu desktop images.

  Therefore I'd like to propose that libnss-winbind should be installed
  per default on desktop images. I will make WINS name resolution work
  out of the box which is something that you would expect as a normal
  user.
