[Samba] OpenBSD 3.3 and samba-2.2.8

[Van Sickler, Jim]

A couple of suggestions:

1. Add your Samba server to the hosts and lmhosts files on your PCs.
Copy hosts & lmhosts to the netlogon share directory.
In your logon.bat put these lines (change "SERVER" to your server name):

-------------
if exist %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.old del
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts.old
ren %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts hosts.old
copy \\SERVER\NETLOGON\hosts %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc
if exist %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts.old del
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts.old
ren %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts lmhosts.old
copy \\SERVER\NETLOGON\lmhosts %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc
nbtstat -R
-------------

Then at the PCs, run the logon.bat, using the server's IP address:
Start, Run, \\SERVERIP\NETLOGON\logon.bat, Ok

See if you can see the server in the Network Neighborhood.
When you have to make changes to the hosts/lmhosts, the changes are
loaded during the users logins.  The "nbtstat -R" purges & reloads the
remote cache name table.

2. Use WINS
"WINS Support = yes"   If the Samba server will provide it.
"WINS server = 192.168.1.xxx" to point to the WINS server
	on your network.

3. Be sure the server/PCs are in the same Workgroup/Domain.

4.  Rem out the "hosts allow" to see if that's a cause.
	If not, add it back in.

Don't forget to restart the daemons after steps 2 & 4.

Hope this helps.
  Jim
