[Samba] Changing the name of a server?

[Romeyn Prescott]

Greetings,

I have a server called "images" (both TCP/IP and NetBIOS) I am replacing with a new server. The new server's development name (both TCP/IP and NetBIOS) is "rackimages". Both are members of an NT4 Domain. Images is an NT4 Server, rackimages is a RH8 Linux box running Samba 2.2.7.

I want rackimages to become images. I have it all set and ready to go. My shares work and users are authenticated properly. So here's what I did:

- I created a new Domain account for the old images server called "oldimages". I changed its name and rebooted it.

- I modified rackimage's smb.conf to reflect the new netbios name "images". I stopped and restarted smbd/nmbd.

- I changed entries in our DNS server such that the name "images" points to the new server and not the old one.

Now, when I type \\images on a command line I am asked to authenticate!!!? Images is set to domain authenticate. I switched everything back the way it was before and now it all works again. But I want rackimages to be images.

What am I missing?

TIA,
...ROMeyn
