Title: SAMBA Get_Hostbyname problem
Post by: thrruss on March 15, 2001, 08:15:14 PM

Hello!
I got a problem and I can find a solution.
I've configured a samba server on my e-smith server and evrything worked fine until a few days.
I now have this error message:
               bash-2.04# testparm
               Load smb config files from /etc/smb.conf
               Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host serveur
               Failed to get my hostname.

my /etc/hosts file:
               127.0.0.1       localhost
               192.168.0.1     serveur
               192.168.0.2     artemis

my  /etc/HOSTNAME file:
               serveur
               localhost

the smb.conf file works perfectly on an other computer.
Thanks for the help.

If that is what is there, then you don't have an e-smith server, or you have made custom changes to those files. Try doing:

/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save

to regenerate all your configuration files, and see if things start working correctly.
