Something to do with machine names versus hostnames? SMB uses (as far as I
know) just the machinenames (e.g. out of testone.localdomain it uses
testone). The /etc/samba/lmhosts file can be used to hold static machine
names, with the /etc/hosts file used for static (complete) host addresses,
but for dynamic addressing, you'd probably want your server to prepend the
local domain name onto the end of on simple hostname lookups (e.g.
requesting the ip for testone, by the software, will end up with the
network requesting the ip for testone.localdomain, assuming that the local
domain name was "localdomain").
For my system, that means putting the line: search localdomain
into my /etc/resolv.conf file. Read the resolv.conf man file for more
details.
