Hi,

I changed the samba version from 3.0.x to 3.5.1 and from that moment 
something has changed with the nameresolving. The smbstatus mainly sjopws 
IP adresses now:

[printserver] # smbstatus

Samba version 3.5.1
PID     Username      Group         Machine
-------------------------------------------------------------------
14944     <uid>       it            131.169.214.117 (131.169.214.117)
14944     <uid>       it            131.169.214.117 (131.169.214.117)

Service      pid     machine       Connected at
-------------------------------------------------------
IPC$         14944   131.169.214.117  Mon Mar 22 11:43:05 2010
IPC$         14944   131.169.214.117  Mon Mar 22 11:41:45 2010

I fiddled around with all the usual options with no success, DNS reverse 
lookup works fine:

[printserver] # nslookup 131.169.214.117
Server:		131.169.40.200
Address:	131.169.40.200#53

117.214.169.131.in-addr.arpa	name = zitpcx16179.desy.de.

When I go back to the 3.0.x version name resolution works fine again, what 
am I missing ???

Any hints someone ?

cheers
