Hello, if I enter a NetBIOS name in SWAT that is equivalent to my (Linux) server name then SWAT displays the correct status of the smbd deamon. However if I enter a NetBIOS name that is different than my (Linux) server name then SWAT always displays the status of smbd as "not running", although smbd is up an running (check via: ps -ef|grep smbd) The status of the nmbd deamon is always displayed correct. parameter: bind interfaces only = no. I have Samba V. 3.0.2a with kernel 2.6.4-52 (SuSE 9.1 Pro distribution). Any idea ? Regards, Vlad!
