Greetings, O Mighty SAMBA masters. A problem cropped up with our SAMBA implementation, which began when we upgraded the Sun Ultra 3000 on which it runs from Solaris 2.5.1 to Solaris 2.6. Our NT servers are no longer able to connect the the file services offered from that box, or at best, only intermittently. I began going through the "Diagnosing Samba" document (the one on the web page). When I got to step 4, "nmblookup -B BIGSERVER __SAMBA__" (and yes, I subtituted the actual name of the Solaris server for BIGSERVER <grin>), I received the message "name_query failed to find name __SAMBA__" as the last message in the response. I'm going to download the latest version of SAMBA and install it to see if that fixes things. Outside of the general idea that one should attempt to keep up with the latest rev. of the software, will this likely fix my problem? or is there something else that I should look at? Vitals: + Sun Ultra 3000. + Solaris 2.6 with current patches. + Samba 1.9.17p4 Thanks a bunch. Ed Maple Sys. Admin. Netcom
