Halloo, I'm having a bit of trouble, and was wondering if anyone can think
of a solution. I compiled the CVS code this morning to replace the copy
of the 1.9.19alpha code I was using from the summer, and it's all
installed and working fine, except for one thing. I use a different
NetBIOS name on my Samba server from its actual DNS name, and smbpasswd
refuses to find it. It works fine if I set the two to be equal.
nmblookup will find the IP address just fine with either name. Here's the
full text of the error message given by smbpasswd, and a name lookup:
[root at engsoc /etc]# smbpasswd
cli_connect_serverlist: Can't resolve address for Q-ENG
cli_connect_serverlist: Domain password server not available.
get_member_domain_sid: unable to initialise client connection.
Can't setup password database vectors.
[root at engsoc /etc]# nmblookup Q-ENG
Sending queries to 130.15.132.255
130.15.132.48 Q-ENG<00>
130.15.132.48 Q-ENG<00>
The machine is visible in an NT browse list on another machine in the
subnet. If you've got any ideas, I'd love to hear them :) Thanks..
