I was setting up Samba on an OpenSuSE 10.3 i386 computer.
At the last minute I decided to enter a NetBIOS Hostname, big mistake.
While this may be a question better suited to the OpenSUSE list than
this one, you entered a NetBIOS hostname where? In YaST?
Since it was a SAMBA Issue I thought this would be the best place,
but if you think the OpenSuSE Forum is a better option I'll move the
thread there.
and, yes, it was through YaST...
A message popped up warning me that entering a NetBIOS Hostname would
create a new UID and Clients may no longer be able to connect.
The Message was correct....
What clients are no longer be able to connect? Samba clients? Or
some other clients?
Sorry, not a complete description of the problem. It was the Windows
XP Clients that could no longer authenticate
to a share or even the "Workgroup" Computer.
What I needed to know was how to undue that option, or how to set up
the Windows Client to use the NetBIOS name.
I was under a time constraint, small system so at the time it was
easier just to reinstall the O/S (now working) and learn
about this later...
