HOSTS and RESLVCNF must exist in NET.SYS - did you check this ?
A link from /etc/ to these files is helpful as well for INETD.

Subject:  Samba Config help




Greetings -
We are trying to install samba and are having a few problems.
I think all the networking stuff is correct.  We have hosts.net
(and it's posix name) with both a loopback and we added the local
machine name.  We also have DNS set up and have been using it for quite
some time.
The message we are getting in /SAMBA/PUB/var/log.smb is:
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host co.
Added interface ip=10.1.8.248 bcast=10.1.15.255 nmask=255.255.240.0
Get_Hostbyname: Unknown host. co

"co" is the beginning of our domain name (co.frederick.md.us).  The
machine name is "xl3".  I can't find anyplace other than /etc/hosts and
/etc/resolv.conf where these names would exist (other than dns).  And
nslookups from our unix box seem to work fine so I don't suspect
anything wrong with dns.
We have inetd running, but we don't have this set up to run under inetd.
Any ideas?
Thanks in Advance
