AHA! where is my head? All the FreeBSD machines run samba. # nmblookup asus fueno dv6000 hp_pavillion nat-valid-name \ | sed -e '/^query/d' -e '/name.*failed/d' -e 's/<00>//' 192.168.2.6 asus 192.168.2.3 fueno 192.168.2.5 dv6000 192.168.2.4 hp_pavillion and, put this in /etc/hosts, periodically. Then, all I need to know is the names of the machines, which I can put on one machine and copy it to others. Any other ideas? tomdean _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
