[Samba] smbd error: Matchname failed on (machine name)
Listmates, Samba has been trouble free for some time, but I have a very strange error related to one machine on my network that is filling my logs with smb errors. The box in question "ripper" is a normal WinXP box that is dual-boot with SuSE 10.3. The errors are received every 30 minutes or so: Aug 21 17:04:03 archangel smbd[3116]: [2009/08/21 17:04:03, 0] lib/util_sock.c:matchname(1749) Aug 21 17:04:03 archangel smbd[3116]: matchname: host name/address mismatch: ::ffff:192.168.6.149 != ripper.3111skyline.com Aug 21 17:04:03 archangel smbd[3116]: [2009/08/21 17:04:03, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_name(1870) Aug 21 17:04:03 archangel smbd[3116]: Matchname failed on ripper.3111skyline.com ::ffff:192.168.6.149 Aug 21 17:35:53 archangel smbd[3120]: [2009/08/21 17:35:53, 0] lib/util_sock.c:matchname(1749) Aug 21 17:35:53 archangel smbd[3120]: matchname: host name/address mismatch: ::ffff:192.168.6.149 != ripper.3111skyline.com Aug 21 17:35:53 archangel smbd[3120]: [2009/08/21 17:35:53, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_name(1870) Aug 21 17:35:53 archangel smbd[3120]: Matchname failed on ripper.3111skyline.com ::ffff:192.168.6.149 There are 10 other boxes on the local subnet 6 are dual-boot WinXP & Linux. I don't get this error with any of the others. The server is Archlinux with samba 3.3.7-1. The smb.conf is: [global] use sendfile = No workgroup = rb_law server string = Samba %v printcap name = cups load printers = yes printing = cups show add printer wizard = no disable spoolss = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 100 time server = yes admin users = david smb ports = 139 hosts allow = 192.168.7. 192.168.6. 192.168.8. 192.168.5. map to guest = bad user security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd socket options = TCP_NODELAY local master = no os level = 56 name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast wins server = 192.168.6.17 dns proxy = no usershare allow guests = No [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes What should I check to try to stop the errors? Both boxes get rebooted fairly regularly and no matter, the error always comes back. Let me know if I can send additional information and I'll be happy to. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
