Session request failed (Called name not present) error

[David McMullen]

I just tried that here on my problem server and I get:

root at chef:/usr/local/samba/bin:./nmblookup -U 192.168.1.200 -S '*'
querying * on 192.168.1.200
192.168.1.200 *<00>
Looking up status of 192.168.1.200
received 5 names
        CHEF            <00> -         B <ACTIVE> 
        CHEF            <03> -         B <ACTIVE> 
        CHEF            <20> -         B <ACTIVE> 
        ENIGMA-NT       <00> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> 
        ENIGMA-NT       <1e> - <GROUP> B <ACTIVE> 
num_good_sends=0 num_good_receives=0

does this look about right?

I am now back running a compiled source 2.0.7 version with an smb.conf taken
straight from a working linux box that I set up last night, changing only
the NETBIOS NAME entry as follows:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.1.62 (192.168.1.62)
# Date: 2000/12/12 17:40:55

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = ENIGMA-NT
        netbios name = CHEF 
        security = SHARE
        password level = 8
        wins server = 192.168.1.5

[tmp]
        path = /tmp
        writeable = Yes
        guest ok = Yes

still get the Called name not present error....
