Command-line options for wsdd

OPTIONS="-4 -i eth0 -i eth1 -w WORKGROUP"

#\fB-n \fIHOSTNAME\fR, \fB--hostname \fIHOSTNAME\fR
Override the host name wsdd uses during discovery. By default the machine's host name is used (look at hostname(1)

I am working with ClearOS ver 7.7.2 I installed wsdd, It put the top two lines in Wsdd ./etc/sysconfig and detected host clearOS machine name but not the Windows Networking (Samba) which normally is a different host name, it looks like I should Put it in something like this
OPTIONS="-n DINW, --HOSTNAME dinw ?
DINW being the Samba host/NETBIOS name and dinsrv being the ClearOS server network host name. Was able to get it working by giving them both the same name not sure what will happen If used this way. But not a proper fix.

I was able to get it working right by adding -n HOSTNAME which is the netbios name in the smb,config file, replacing the command-line options for wsdd.
OPTIONS="-4 -i eth0 -i eth1 -w WORKGROUP -n DINW"

Thank You
Bob

wsdd does not interact with samba directly. If the name that is configured in Samba should be used, then whoever launches wsdd must pass that hostname to wsdd...

it looks like I should Put it in something like this
OPTIONS="-n DINW, --HOSTNAME dinw ?

... by exactly that option. Note that specifying either -n or --HOSTNAME is sufficient.

Fine. We obviously came to the same solution 😉
