[Samba] IP address change fouls things up.

[Bishop, Dean]

Good morning,

  i recently had to change the IP address of my RH7.3 samba file server.
The config is pretty much standard and had been working for about a year.

  Once i changed the IP address, i started getting the message "the domain
password you supplied is not correct, or access to your logon server has
been denied".

 Changing my IP address back resolves the issue.  Also, adding a "netbios
name" directive to my smb.conf that changes the name of my server solves the
problem.

  i have rebooted everythang a bunch of times, checked hosts files, dns
entries. i just cannot figure out what is causing the problem.

  Is there someplace where the netbios name is cached that survives reboots?


Normally my server uses its linux name of "HER" for it's netbios name.  It's
old IP address is 192.168.0.4 and it's new address is 192.168.5.4.

thanks in advance,
dean
