[aclug-L] Failed to get my host name

[Ruy Oliveira <ruy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everybody,

I'm having trouble to put the SAMBA working again. It was working well,
but after I have changed something in order to learn more about it, the
same did not work anymore.

When I run "testparm" command I get:

Get_Hostbyname: unknown host    NAME_host
Failed to get my hostname

I have already verified the following files: /etc/hosts,
/etc/HOSTNAME,  /etc/sysconfig/network and  /etc/host.conf. At first all

they are ok, since I compared them with another machine that is running
so well.

I guess any file can have been lost, but I'm not sure.

Besides, the ping command with the direct IP address is running
perfectly.

So, I hope rely on the help of this mailing list,

Thanks in advance,

Ruy.
