I can't seem to see new host aliases.
This use to work in 1.9.17p11 (I think). I am now at 1.9.17.alpha5.
When I add a new host alias I don't see it from my PC but can from my
Unix server. What is stranger is that I see aliases that were made a
long time ago but not the new ones.
Environment:
SERVER: 1.9.17alpha5 on Solaris 2.5.1 with NIS+
CLIENT: Win95 on a PC
Example:
FROM UNIX SIDE:
terre{root}85: ping terre
terre is alive
terre{root}86: ping smbhost
terre is alive
FROM PC SIDE in a DOS Window:
C:\WINDOWS>ping terre
Pinging terre.IRCM.UMontreal.CA [132.204.106.33] with 32 bytes of data:

C:\WINDOWS>ping smbhost
Bad IP address smbhost.
C:\WINDOWS>
There is also this note in the WHATSNEW.txt:
Some of the changes since alpha4 are:
*** Alias names for Samba servers.
Can anyone help me out ? Thank you.
