hi again,
2. I somehow need to rename the server back to BIGSERVER, but I'm not
sure how to do this without breaking things again.
assuming you have a small net work w/ only one DC (samba) and no trusts
this should be no problem.
- stop all samba processes on the PDC. rename it in smb.conf.
- make sure that there's no hostname entry in any configfile on your
samba DC that points to LITTLESERVER (e.g. you could grep for it 'grep
-ir LITTLESERVER /etc/*' - everything should be BIGSERVER otherwise this
could lead to inconsistencies)
- delete browse.dat and wins.dat
- start nmbd
- on another linux system do the following:
- nmblookup -M YOURDOMAIN
- nmblookup YOURDOMAIN#1b
- nmblookup YOURDOMAIN#1c
this should always list your samba server (at least after 1 minute).
you can also force samba to be the local master in your network (inkl.
preferred master). then start smbd.
