Hi all I ran in to a strange problem when trying to setup a 4.8rc5 ua server.
My "ntinstall" samba server cannot, for diffent reasons, be accessed via its dns name. It have to be access via the NetBIOS name. When using mount.cifs I get this error: ***Trying mount.cifs \\ntinstall\install /z -o username=gu est,ro mount error: could not find target server. TCP name ntinstall/install not found I modified "/etc/master" so it behaves like it did in 4.7 and tried smbmount first. That works like it should, I was wondering why 4.8rc5 use mount.cifs exclusivly? Are cifs more effecient then smb or ? Also, is there a reason why we use DNS name resolution instead of NetBIOS? Patrick wrote someting about it back in 2004 http://www.mail-archive.com/unattended-i...@lists.sourceforge.net/msg02260.html but I dont think he got around to changing it. Personally I think it is better to use NetBIOS name resolution since it is what Windows will use, so if there is a confict between NetBIOS and DNS it will behave the same before installation and after. I was looking into how to change enable NetBIOS name resolution, but so far I havent got it to work. I'll try again tomorrow to see if I can figure out how to hack the Makefile.
