[Samba] Problem with SuSE 8.1 & Samba 2.2.5 PDC

[Gareth Lapworth]

As an update to my post earlier, i think i have found the problem.

The nmbd server isnt working correctly on my machine.

given that my netbios name is POTATO and the workgroup name is SACK

# > nmblookup -S potato
querying potato on 192.168.0.255
querying potato on 81.96.130.255
name_query failed to find name potato

with smbd and nmbd both started, it cannot find the server. Another look at
the workgroup shows

# > nmblookup sack
querying sack on 192.168.0.255
192.168.0.223 sack<00>
192.168.0.224 sack<00>

I would have expected this to show my server as part of the workgroup??

And one last look to search for all samba servers

# > nmblookup -B potato _ _SAMBA_ _
querying _ on 0.0.0.0
name_query failed to find name _
querying _SAMBA_ on 0.0.0.0
name_query failed to find name _SAMBA_
querying _ on 0.0.0.0
name_query failed to find name _

anybody have any ideas??

Thanks
