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.

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? -Chris Bartram -----Original Message----- From: Robert Mills [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, April 17, 2001 11:22 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [HP3000-L] NET: Urgent RESLVCNF.NET.SYS assistance required Importance: High 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, +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ |Robert W.Mills (Systems Development Manager) | |Windsong Services, St. Mary Cray, ENGLAND | |Tel : +44 (0)1689 870622 x3005 | |Fax : +44 (0)1689 899026 | |Email: [log in to unmask] | +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html * * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html * * To join/leave the list, search archives, change list settings, * * etc., please visit http://raven.utc.edu/archives/hp3000-l.html *
