I have NIS+ aliases names for my servers and that used to work fine with
1.9.17p4.
For example:
the real name of the server is JUPITER and is alias is HOSTP.
The command NET USE S: \\HOSTP\PUBLIC worked OK until now.
But since I upgraded to 1.9.18p2 it doesn't anymore. I have to issue the
command NET USE S: \\JUPITER\PUBLIC to make it work. If I use the alias
name the PC gives me "Error 53: The computer name specified in the
network path cannot be located" (in a DOS Box).
The only other change that I made when switching to 1.9.17 to 1.9.18 is to
go from plain text to encrypted passwords with "encrypted = yes" and
"smb
passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd".
