Hi, I am having the same problem. Did you figure out how to do this? Any help in how to remove stale WINS entries from Samba would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, -farshad

Further on this. I just ran an ethereal trace on an attempt to ping lserver1 from lserver1, and it appears that my DNS isn't staying local at all, but I have no idea what's gone wrong (other than my /etc/resolv.conf file). The trace (I'd include the relevant parts, but I can't get it to save anything in textual form) had lserver1.test.biz going out thro...

...I'm running Samba v 3.0.14a on an FC3 machine. I've got two basic problems: one centers on my DNS set up and the other is an authenticated logon problem. With /etc/nsswitch.conf set to "hosts: dns," I cannot ping my samba server--"Host not found." Nor does <host lserver1.test.biz> (which appears in my /etc/hosts file) resolve the name (incidentally, "host -f ..." just tells me the f is an illegal option). WINS seems to resolve OK (at least the test for that in the chapter passes). I've checked my files several times, and I can find no error...

...ess her share directly (cd and ls both work), but from her Win2k box, she gets the above error. From my Win2k box, I see "archive" (the parent directory of the shared directory, and the parent share of the "files" share) and "files" (the subordinate share) inside lserver1 (lserver1 is the Linux box), and "archive on lserver1" up above directly inside My Network Places. From her Win2k box, she sees only lserver1 in MNP, she can see down into her ahines share, but she cannot access that. If this isn't clear, the directory structure of the shares is...

I've still not quite got things right. I'm running FC3 with Samba v 3.0.14a, and I'm trying to implement Example 2.4 from JHT's 2004 ed. of Samba-3 by Example. I have lserver1 as my Linux box and jupiter (user annlee) and mustelidae (ehines) as Win2k boxes. ehines has access to his share (path /archive/ehines (/archive/%U in smb.conf)), but annlee does not to her share (/archive/annlee). If I add annlee as a valid user to master, though, she does have access. Without...

I have setup a W2K client that uses a SuSE8.0 samba 2.2.5 server on the network. Samba is setup to use CUPS and as long as I print from W2K itself, there is no problems at all. It I try to copy a text file to a printer on the Samba server e.i. cp file \\lserver1\HP4000T nothing comes out of the printer and the following error message is written to /var/log/samba/log.smbd: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------...

...n set to get its address automatically via DHCP. Further, the machine's /etc/hosts file has the following line in it (which it has always had, so this ought not be a problem, unless there's something fundamentally different between Chapt 3 and the earlier chapters): "192.168.1.103 lserver1". I'm running this with Chapt 2's smb.conf file as my version of Chapt 3's smb.conf file has its own problems which I haven't had a chance to trouble shoot--it causes the PC's bootup to hang--completely, this time--on trying to bring up snmb. I don't think this ea...
