If I'm not mistaken, entries for BOTH localhost and the actual machine
name are required. That's how I have mine set up, and it works the
way it's supposed to.

Subject: Samba Question
Sambanese:
Two computer network. One Win95, the other Linux RH 6.1. Both can ping
each other by name.
With smbd -D and nmbd -D running, when I issue the command:
smbclient //rocky/nancyf
I get the errors:
session request to ROCKY failed
session request to *SMBSERVER failed
However, if I issue:
smbclient //localhost/nancyf
I get the password prompt and can log in as nancyf and do stuff.
uname -a tells me this machine/server is rocky.mars, and that's what
/etc/HOSTNAME has in it.
/etc/lmhosts contains the name and IP address for each machine on the
network, including rocky.
Matter of fact, on the Linux box I can do almost anything Samba using
the
localhost name, but not the rocky name.
So why does it understand localhost but not rocky, the name of the
machine?
