Hi everybody,
I'm having trouble to put the SAMBA working again. It was working well,
but after I have changed something by mistake, the
same did not work anymore.
When I run "testparm" command I get:
Get_Hostbyname: unknown host NAME_host
Failed to get my hostname
I have already verified the following files:
/etc/hosts, /etc/HOSTNAME, /etc/sysconfig/network and /etc/host.conf.
At first all they are ok, since I compared them with another machine
that is running
so well.
I suspect that any file can have been lost, but I'm not sure.
Besides, the ping command with the direct IP address is running
perfectly.
So, I hope rely on the help of this mailing list to solve this trouble.
Thanks in advance,
Ruy.
