I have recently set up samba between Mandrake, NT, 98, etc. Has worked
fine for a day or so. I have truly enjoyed browsing my linux box
through windoze :-o
This evening, without my intervention, both nmdb and smbd stopped
running, and I am unable (using SWAT) to get them to re-start. I have
tried rebooting many times. Even restored earlier working smb.conf.
Nothing. Nada. If I look in /var/log/samba/log.nmb I see stuff like
"Get_Hostbyname Unknown host [kb01ln.kband.net]
nmbd/nmbd.c:main(689)
Unable to get my hostname - exiting
Same thing with log.smb
Don't know why my hostname would suddenly no longer be valid.
"hostname" at console returns kb01ln.kband.net
I am also getting in SWAT "Couldn't open status file
/var/log/samba/STATUS..LCK
If posting my smb.conf file would help, please let me know!
Whatever the case, it seems that NetBios info is no longer being passed
between machines.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Bryan
