SAMBA digest 2519

[Donald E. Hammond]

Looks like the name 'xunil' isn't getting resolved to an IP number. 
This isn't a samba problem, but a basic configuration issue.  Assuming
your name resolution configuration looks at /etc/hosts first (1), you
need to add an entry to that file.  Something like:

193.136.131.57   xunil.<your domain>   xunil

(1) look in /etc/host.conf for a line like:

order hosts bind
