This file lists real Gotchas to watch out for: ========================================================================= 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 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 =========================================================================
