Host alias

[SI-Gaetan Boudreau]

I can't seem to see new host aliases.
This use to work in 1.9.17p11 (I think).  I am now at 1.9.17.alpha5.

When I add a new host alias I don't see it from my PC but can from my 
Unix server.  What is stranger is that I see aliases that were made a 
long time ago but not the new ones.

Environment:
SERVER: 1.9.17alpha5 on Solaris 2.5.1 with NIS+
CLIENT: Win95 on a PC

Example:
          FROM UNIX SIDE:
terre{root}85: ping terre 
terre is alive 
terre{root}86: ping smbhost 
terre is alive

          FROM PC SIDE in a DOS Window:
C:\WINDOWS>ping terre

Pinging terre.IRCM.UMontreal.CA [132.204.106.33] with 32 bytes of data:

C:\WINDOWS>ping smbhost
Bad IP address smbhost.

C:\WINDOWS>


          There is also this note in the WHATSNEW.txt:
Some of the changes since alpha4 are:         
*** Alias names for Samba servers.

Can anyone help me out ?  Thank you.
