This dies immediately...

# nmbd -D

...so I did this...

# rm /var/log/log.nmb
# nmbd -d 10 -D 
# cp /var/log/log.nmb /floppy

...and this is what I got. Know first that I can do 
this...


# smbclient -L STURNO2

...which is to a Win98 machine, but I can NOT do this...

# smbclient -L STURNO1

...or this...

# smbclient -L localhost

...even thought I can always do this...

# ping localhost

...and also this...

# ping STURNO1

...my nmbd is simply not running. I have run out of ideas
of where to look. Here is  my /var/log/log.nmb file. I 
don't
know why Get_Hostbyname returns Unknown host, since ping
always works. Does anybody have an idea of where next I 
should
look?

/var/log/log.nmb
