+=========================================================================
+Item Number: 1.0
+Description: Problem Detecting Interfaces
+Symptom: Workstations do NOT see Samba server in Browse List
+OS: RedHat - Rembrandt Beta 2
+Platform: Intel
+Date: August 16, 1996
+Submitted By: John H Terpstra <jht@aquasoft.com.au>
+Details:
+ By default RedHat Rembrandt-II during installation adds an
+ entry to /etc/hosts as follows:-
+ 127.0.0.1 loopback "hostname"."domainname"
+
+ This causes Samba to loop back onto the loopback interface.
+ The result is that Samba fails to communicate correctly with
+ the world and therefor may fail to correctly negotiate who
+ is the master browse list holder and who is the master browser.
+
+Corrective Action: Delete the entry after the word loopback
+ in the line starting 127.0.0.1
