samba - Sep 2004 - IP Appears Rather Than Servername

Since we updated to 3.0.6 we are having an oddity that the server IP
appears in printer UNCs rather than the IP address.  For instance
printer \\barbel\grdps appears in the printer status box as "192.168.1.9
on grdps".  It still works, but this is both odd and unsightly.  DNS
forward and reverse is working.  It does this on both our 3.0.6
servers.  On adding \\sardine\pdfconv print queue, it addes
\\192.168.1.12\pdfconv in the printer list.

Yup, been meaning to research that a bit more. It happens when you bounce Samba
but then do not bounce the workstations. Printer attachments also end up with it
saying "on xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" which makes
setting the default pritner via "\\server\printqueue" fail as it has
the IP address in the name.

Save bet seems to be all workstations must be bounced after Samba has been
bounced. (This being with a Samba PDC configuration at least)

Sorry Adam,  known issue that will be fixed in 3.0.8.
