Re: tlug: trouble in smb setting

Thank you for your suggestion.  I tried the same smb.conf, but it doesn't 
work.  The same error (your server software is being unfriendly) occurs.

Yes, I have no problem in this.   When Win98 is running on tetsu, it works.

Hmm, it may be a problem.  I set hostname of my computer "MailAndNews.com", 
although it actually is another machine.  By doing this, in all the email 
messages I am "tetsuji@example.com", but actually MailAndNews.com is 
another site.  To tell the truth, when booting, at first "hostname tetsu" is 
executed, and then, such daemons as smbd are executed, then "hostname 
MailAndNews.com" is executed.   smbd interprets this machine is tetsu.
  But I also think the problem is solved by smb.conf, because the error 
message is "Your server software is being unfriendly", and because "smbclient 
-L yuki" works in spite of MailAndNews.com problem.
   Other programs such as ftp, telnet work fine between tetsu and yuki.
