[Samba] [Fwd: Samba-3 By Ex Chapt 3]

[Eric Hines]

One more thing I forgot to mention.  The chapter calls for editing 
/etc/resolv.conf, but in my case it won't stay edited--it keeps getting 
set back to an original form (for searching my ISP) on every reboot.

Thanks again.

I guess I'm ate up with dumb because I'm having a great deal of 
difficulty with this chapter.

I'm running Samba v 3.0.14a on an FC3 machine.  I've got two basic 
problems: one centers on my DNS set up and the other is an authenticated 
logon problem.  With /etc/nsswitch.conf set to "hosts: dns," I cannot 
ping my samba server--"Host not found." Nor does <host 
lserver1.test.biz> (which appears in my /etc/hosts file) resolve the 
name (incidentally, "host -f ..." just tells me the f is an illegal 
option).   WINS seems to resolve OK (at least the test for that in the 
chapter passes).  I've checked my files several times, and I can find no 
error in them. 

The other problem is running smbclient //lserver1/accounts -U ehines.  
I'm invited to give the password, so that part is OK, but when I do, I 
just get an NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE message.  ehines is the owner of 
accounts and a member of the group that owns accounts.  I think this 
goes back to my logon file in /scripts (per the smb.conf set up), but 
I'm clueless as to what should be in that file.  That file currently has 
the following contents:

    net time \\lserver1 /set /yes
    net use h: /home
    net use p: \\lserver1\accounts


Any help on these two would be greatly appreciated.
