Ok that works. I had tried "netbiosname" but not "servernetbiosname" (only fuzzy memories from the last win98 encounter and the suggestion to use netbiossomething). I think servernetbiosname should implicitly be assumed to be the same as the //hostpart/ when it's not explicitly specified, no? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
