Description Christoffer Hammarström 2004-10-25 02:04:06 UTC 
I'm trying to connect to share "backup" on server "ran", which has a path of
"/mnt/backup/machines/%m" in smb.conf. I'm connecting with machine "lodur" with
ip 192.168.97.91. This used to work, but just now i noticed it doesn't anymore.
It tries to use path "/mnt/backup/machines/192.168.97.91" instead of
"/mnt/backup/machines/lodur".
I also have a "log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log" which now logs to
"/var/log/samba/192.168.97.91.log" instead of "/var/log/samba/lodur.log" as it
used to. I see three other "<ip>.log" files, but most of the other machines
(about 10-20) seem to work fine.
I will attach my config and a log file.

I should add that nmbd is running fine on lodur:

kreiger@ran:~$ nmblookup -A 192.168.97.91
params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file
"/srv/samba/srv-shares.smb.conf"
added interface ip=192.168.97.161 bcast=192.168.97.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Socket opened.
Looking up status of 192.168.97.91

Now, a couple of hours later, it works again! However, that doesn't mean i
advocate closing this bug. I'd like to know what happened.
Comment 5 Björn Jacke 2004-10-26 02:22:58 UTC 
when using SMB via TCP (port 445) the netbios name is not transmitted and in
that case it is normal that %m ist not the name but the IP instead
Comment 6 Christoffer Hammarström 2004-10-26 02:49:52 UTC 
All right, thank you. What could have caused this to temporarily use port 445?
