Description Rod Smith 2004-01-31 10:25:04 UTC 
The %M smb.conf variable isn't returning hostnames. I used the following 
parameter to test: 
 
preexec = touch /tmp/logon-%M.txt 
 
After logging on from a remote client called nessus.rodsbooks.com at 
192.168.1.3, the file /tmp/logon-192.168.1.3.txt is present, but not 
/tmp/logon-nessus.rodsbooks.com.txt. This parameter works correctly in Samba 
2.2.8a. I've tested this with Samba 3.0.1 binaries delivered with Fedora 1 and 
with a locally-built Samba 3.0.0 on a SUSE 8.1 system.

setting 'hostname lookups = yes' should resolve this.  The default
is to avoid potentially expensive DNS reverse lookups.
