Do you mean I need to give you steps to repeat the problem?
I guess that would be:
1. Edit the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] wins dns mdns4
2. Set up samba, with /etc/samba/smb.conf including
wins support = yes
name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast dns
I can supply a full smb.conf if needed.
3. Set up fetchmail as a daemon, logging to syslog.
4. On receipt of mail or other output from fetchmail, the log will be from nss_wins instead of fetchmail.
I imagine you can substitute fetchmail with other things which do similar DNS lookups, mountd for example seems to work, although ssh doesn't seem to trigger it and I would imagine it does dns lookups. Perhaps ssh doesn't read nsswitch.conf.
