Your domain name is wrong in reslcvnf - the domain is the part AFTER the
hp979 (i.e. just windsong-services.co.uk).
This is probably messing up name resolutions. Once you setup reslvcnf use
the NSLOOKUP program (if you have a BIND account you'll have a copy there,
otherwise you have :NSLOOKUP.SYS.THREEK). Enter a hostname at the prompt to
see if it can resolve the name(s) correctly.
Samba also wants to see a "localhost" entry IIRC pointing back to 127.0.0.1
in DNS...?
If you can't resolve names using nslookup, then your DNS is NOT working
correctly. Be sure your system can make TCP *AND* UDP connections on port 59
from the 3000 to the DNS server (in case you have a firewall). Once DNS is
setup correctly, I suspect things will start working.
-Chris Bartram
(as for NetMail working but Samba not when you have the reslvcnf setup,
NetMail doesn't pay attention to the domain name in that file - which was
wrong in your case - just the IP address(es), so netmail would work
anyway.)

Hi Chris,
From NMMGR:
Local HP3000 Node Name: HP979.LAMBOURNE.PRODUCTIONS
Local Domain Name: HP979.WINDSONG-SERVICES.CO.UK
From HOSTS.NET.SYS:
192.171.1.43 hp979 HP979.LAMBOURNE.PRODUCTIONS HP979
hp979.lambourne.productions
From RESLVCNF.NET.SYS:
domain hp979.windsong-services.co.uk
From SHOWVAR HPSYS@:
HPSYSNAME = HP979
With the above config an 'smbclient "-L !HPSYSNAME"' lists
all the shares.
Only problem is that NetMail needs to access our ISP's DNS
to resolve email
addresses.
To do this I need to add the following entry to
RESLVCNF.NET.SYS:
nameserver <gateway ip address>
If an 'smbclient "-L !HPSYSNAME"' is done after the
nameserver entry is
added then we get:
manager.sys% /usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient "-L
!HPSYSNAME"
Added interface ip=192.171.1.43 bcast=192.171.1.255
nmask=255.255.255.0
Session request failed (0,0) with myname=HP979
destname=HP979
Unspecified error 0x0
Your server software is being unfriendly
So, I added the following nameserver entry to
RESLVCNF.NET.SYS:
nameserver 192.171.1.43
Doing another 'smbclient "-L !HPSYSNAME"' gave me the same
results as above.
NetMail will works as long as the first nameserver entry is
there (it can
resolve the email addresses) BUT Samba is dead. Why??

NetMail/3000 and Samba don't have any compatibility
problems... Though both
do utilize DNS resolution if enabled. Typos in your
reslvcnf.net.sys file
(or unresponsive DNS servers referenced there) can cause
serious performance
problems for either though.
What exactly is the problem?

Hi fellow listers,
Please excuse the flagging of the missive as
high
importance. You may not
think it is but it's caused me a lot of
grief :{
Have got a problem with NetMail/3000 and
Samba/iX living on
the same box (an
HP979/200 running 6.5). The problem looks as
if it's in the
RESLVCNF file.
Anybody know where I can get any
documentation on this file?
regards,
