Re: [Samba] Resolving computername from ip
I normally use ping -a [IP address] from a Windows DOS session. Not sure if the -a option works from a Linux commend prompt though. - Original Message - From: Torben Thomsen [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 26, 2004 7:47 AM Subject: [Samba] Resolving computername from ip Hi, Is there, on a intranet, any way to resolve the computername from its ip ?

If you are using an LDAP passdb bind has a very good ldap-sdb module so you can keep host zone information in the same Dit as well; nice for administration. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Is this better than dynamic update DNS?, SOL. I suppose it depends on what you want to accomplish. It seems more flexible and extensible to me than raw DDNS, but the big boon is management. Adjusting DNS records can then be done through the same tool/interface you use for user, groups, mail routing, etc Add in the LDAP patch for ISC's DHCP server and you've almost got an end-to-end directory enabled network. Works very well for us; just throwing it out there since I think these solutions get overlooked alot. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
