I am running Samba1.9.18p7 under RedHat 5.1. The linux box (host name PPro)
is the host running Samba, and it connects to OS/2 (named PII) as its client.
I have smbd (pid 513 is running . . .
nmbd (pid 522 is running . . .
The command # testparm returns
Load smb config files from /etc/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[netlogon]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Loaded services file OK.
I run # smbclient -L PPro
Added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

However, # smbclient -L PII times out and says: Your server software is
being unfriendly. I see that when this happens I should "Look at point
33 in the 'autoreply' doc on the server." No idea where that is. There
is no documentation in my /usr/doc/samba-1.9.18p7
I turn to /var/log/ and look at the samba logs.

My questions:
1. While Samba seems to be running on PPro, and I get the message that it
sees its ethernet interface 192.168.1.1, but the log suggest that it sought
address 0.0.0.0 Why would it do so?
2. The log says Samba failed to find 192.168.1.1. even though that interface
was added. How do I reconcile these apparently contradictory reports?
3. When I run # smbclient -L PII, it times out and says: Your server software
is being unfriendly. But I see no reason to run this command. If the server
is running and a connection is up, I should think my PII client would see it.
4. There is no documentation in my /usr/doc/samba-1.9.18p7 directory. Should
there be?
