I installed Samba on my debian box the other day, but haven't figured out how to use it very well yet. At the time the box was named "sheasbys". Today I changed the hostname to "jonah". I did this by changing the name in /etc/hostname and then by issuing the command "hostname -F/etc/hostname". Now when I run "testparm smb.conf" from /etc, I get an error about not being able to GetMyhostname jonah.
I also needed to move the PC, so I shut it down; when I rebooted I also noticed that there was an error on bootup about not being able to get the name jonah; this error had something to do with printing. If you need the exact text, let me know where I can find a log file that might have it and I'll post it. Did I do something wrong in renaming the computer?
