I'm having some problems with a RH 5.2 box attempting to be a Samba server
for the other computers here ony my little LAN at home (Linux Box + 2 Win95
OSR2 boxes.)
Samba generates the following errors in the log files:
/var/log/samaba/log.nmb:
2000/03/26 16:56:42 netbios nameserver version 1.9.18p10 started
Copyright Andrew Tridgell 1994-1997
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host redwing.swamp.
Unable to get my hostname - exiting.
/var/log/samaba/log.smb:
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host redwing.swamp.
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host. redwing.swamp
I have also discovered that the linux box sends a stream of DNS requests to
my ISP for various combinations of redwing.swamp, redwing.swamp.swamp,
REDWING.swamp, etc. whenever the machine is rebooted, for the starting sand
stopping of samba, even for logging in to the linux box from one of my Win95
boxes and using telnet & ftp to make changes etc. (The linux box doesn't
have a keyboard or monitor.)
I also understand that it should be possibleto use linuxconf remotely via
http - how do I set this up?
Just in case it helps, here are so other config files.
