To get into the Truman DNS you need to have samba properly set up to use = the=20 local WINS server (I have the sneaking suspision that that is redundant..= =2E).=20 But anywho, you need to add this line to /etc/samba/smb.conf: wins server =3D 150.243.160.1 After that restart samba (consult the appropriate documentation for your=20 distro on how to that) and wait about five minutes for the WINS server to= =20 sync with the DNS server, after that you should be in.
Also, you might want to add this line to /etc/hosts: 127.0.0.1 localhost <hostname> Where <hostname> is your hostname. That way if the DNS ever goes down, yo= u=20 will still be able to resolve your own machine.
