Warning: inconsistant interface 127.0.0.1

[David.LANDGREN at oecd.org]

Hello samba people,

I have samba 2.0.3 compiled from source on a Linux box, in order to setup
SMB sharenames to access the Linux box from an NT client. I have swat set up
in order to configure Samba, and my conf file is as follows:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 10.65.8.20 (10.65.8.20)
# Date: 1999/03/19 15:31:59

# Global parameters
        workgroup = [xxx]
        netbios name = PACWEB
        server string = PAC Web Research Server
        security = SHARE
        smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
        passwd chat debug = Yes
        username map = /etc/smbusers
        log level = 2
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        max log size = 100
        name resolve order = host lmhosts wins bcast
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY
        load printers = No
        local master = No
        dns proxy = No
        comment = PAC Web Research Server
        hosts allow = 10. 127.          

[tmp]
        comment = (tmp)
        path = /tmp
        read only = No
        create mask = 0644
        guest ok = Yes

[davidshare]
        comment = (david share)
        path = /home/david
        guest account =
        valid users = @users
        read only = No
        create mask = 0644

I can attach to the tmp share as a guest and can read and write, but I can't
get onto my own share (davidshare) by connecting as myself. I can see them
though, in a Map Drive dialog box on NT.

On the Linux machine (whose host name is tidbinbilla), I get the following
when I run nmblookup:

/usr/local/samba/lib 1069 # nmblookup -B tidbinbilla
Warning: inconsistant interface 127.0.0.1
Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.0.0.1 nmask=97.0.0.0
Sending queries to 127.0.0.1

The netmask looks wrong, and I don't know where it's getting that value
from. I've sprinkled debug statements in lib/interface.c but I'm no further
in figuring out what is going on.

log.smb is reporting stuff like

  netbios connect: name1=TIDBINBILLA      name2=PACWEB            

Also, when I try to look up my NT client I get the following:

/var/log/samba 1077 # nmblookup -B [myNTmachine] '*'
Warning: inconsistant interface 127.0.0.1
Added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=0.0.0.0 nmask=97.0.0.0
Sending queries to 0.0.0.0
Got a positive name query response from 127.0.0.1 ( 127.0.0.1 )
127.0.0.1 *<00>

Is this normal? I sort of expected to see an IP address 10.x.x.x and not the
loopback.

Can anyone give me a clue? I'll be happy to provide more information, but I
don't really know what would be the most helpful. /etc/smbusers and
/etc/smbpasswd seem to be normal.

Thanks,
David Landgren
