I'm trying to get a samba server to use an lmhosts file for a host instead of WINS and broadcast, and I was wondering what the right procedure is. This is what I tried. I put this in the smb.conf file: name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast I put this in the /etc/lmhosts file(this is using the precanned samba server from RedHat, so I hope that is the right place): 192.168.1.5 aries I killed nmbd, and ran it with: nmbd -D -H /etc/lmhosts I HUPed all the smbd servers, and I killed any servers that were hosting the client, aries. No joy. I did the same thing on Windows NT, putting 192.168.1.2 hermes #PRE in its lmhosts file, and it seems like it is sending using the right address, but receiving using the wins/bcast address(the computers are multihomed, both on both networks) I know this is a headache, but I was hoping someone could see something I was doing wrong.
