SIG 11 error in V2.0.6 on S.u.S.E. Linux 6.3

[Meile Andreas]

Dear Samba team

Whow! Those silly dots were REALLY the problem!! :-)))) Now smbd 2.0.6 works
:-)))))

Tip to *every* Samba software engineer for the next release:

- smbd should check the occurence of dots and write something like "password
host: invalid host name" in /var/log/log.smb
- Or better: "testparm" should already "beat" on the sysadmin's fingers if a
DNS like entry is found there (because of the IP address in S.u.S.E.'s
example file, I assumed DNS syntax, *not* NetBIOS syntax). May be that
S.u.S.E. should give a *more clear* example file...

But *why* did V2.0.5a accept this entry with dots without problems?!?

Finally, thanks again :-)
