[clug] samba messages and IPV6?

[Steve Walsh]

You should have;

/etc/sysconfig/network

NETWORKING_IPV6=no

and in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX

IPV6INIT=no

If it's disabled. What I'm thinking is happening is that you have ipv6 
enabled (comes on by default), and samba is trying to resolve your 
hostname to a IPv6 address, but can't (due to you not having an AAAA 
record).  A quick test is to add a quad-A record to your DNS config and 
see if this goes away.
