[VU+ Ultimo4K] NFS problem

[tappari]

I made fresh flash with 5.4 008 to Ultimo 4K without settings restore.
Now my other boxes do not find Ultimo with their Networkbrowser. Only way is to use Expert and Scan NFS share.
Then the box is found, but only by ip-adress, not by name. I can do the mount, but then I have to go to auto.network and edit the name manually.
I tested this also with Duo 4K SE with same result.

You maybe need to run Samba as well......

The file that needs changing is /etc/samba/smb-user.conf.

This one line change works (at last) using the /etc/samba directory which comes with 5.4.003, no settings restore in sight, and nmbd starts ...

## User changes to Samba config go here

## You can overrule the insecure defaults and enforce password
## protected access to shares by uncommenting the following
## line, including the secure settings:

[global]
#       include = /etc/samba/distro/smb-secure.conf
        [COLOR="#FF0000"]disable netbios = No[/COLOR]

## You can hide and veto access to certain directories, e.g. mount points of
## other boxes in order to prevent round trips through your LAN
## In Samba 4.x this needs to be configured per share:

[Root]
#       veto files = /ThisBox/OtherBox/AnotherBox/YetAnotherBox/
#       hide files = /ThisBox/OtherBox/AnotherBox/YetAnotherBox/

[Harddisk]
#       veto files = /ThisBox/OtherBox/AnotherBox/YetAnotherBox/
#       hide files = /ThisBox/OtherBox/AnotherBox/YetAnotherBox/

With netbos disabled, nmdb doesn't run, boxes can only see boxes that have it running.

NB

Life gets very complicated if you use an earlier settings restore as /etc/samba is backed up whether you use samba or not,
so there is a strong possibility you'll get an out of date version of that directory.

I made a clean flash and installed both samba and NFS.

Have you added the line "disable netbios = No" as indicated in post #2 ?

When /etc/samba/distro/smb-global-conf this line is No it`s ok: disable netbios = No
A bit stupid that as default it`s Yes.
