I my office there are 2 subnets 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.1.0. I have installed samba and have changed the following line in /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts: files nisplus dns to hosts: files nisplus dns wins Now when Samba is running and i type in ping deployment the ping command works and sucessfully pings this windoze box. However when I type in ssh deployment I get ssh: deployment: No address associated with hostname ? Wierd huh ? Is there a way of getting this to work ? Why does it do this for ping/traceroute but not for any other utility ?
Anyone got any ideas about how to get this working ? (Am willing to bribe with beer and tortillas ) Bryan PS Here is some more info Product: Red Hat Linux Version: 7.2 Platform: i386 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Resolution: Severity: normal Priority: normal Component: samba AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: Summary: wins lookup problems >From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.0.0; Linux) Description of problem: They only work for ping and traceroute they wont work for telnet or ssh Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.In /etc/nsswitch.conf set lookup line to hosts: wins files dns nisplus 2.Go to a command line and attempt to ping a windows box on your network ie: ping skippy ..... [root@localhost glibc]# ping skippy PING skippy (192.168.0.244) from 192.168.0.6 : 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.0.244: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.614 ms --- skippy ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.614/0.614/0.614/0.000 ms 3. That worked no problem 4 Now try to telnet to the same box .... telnet skippy telnet: skippy: No address associated with hostname skippy: No address associated with name Actual Results: telnet should have connected to the server Expected Results: telnet could not find the hostname however ping was able to do so Additional info: RPMS installed samba-2.2.3a-4 samba-common-2.2.3a-4 samba-client-2.2.3a-4 samba-swat-2.2.3a-4 -------------------- telnet-0.17-20 net-tools-1.60-3 ---------------------- glibc-2.2.5-30 glibc-profile-2.2.5-30 glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.11 glibc-devel-2.2.5-30 glib2-2.0.0-1 glib2-devel-2.0.0-1 glib10-1.0.6-10 glibc-common-2.2.5-30 glibc-debug-2.2.5-30 glibc-utils-2.2.5-30 glib-devel-1.2.10-5 glib-1.2.10-5
