Intermittent mapping problem with Samba 2.0.6

[Rashkae]

Sounds like the Samba server is unable to reverse lookup the IP addresses
of your Clients. Could it be a change in your DNS server? Try commenting
out the hosts allow / hosts deny lines in your smb.conf.  Listing the IP
addresses of all your clients in your /etc/hosts file is also very
effective.
