[plug] Useful Samba Tip..

[Daniel Pearson (Flashware Solutions)]

If you setup the machine, on 1 ip. eg. 192.168.0.1 and then later change 
it to 10.2.3.1 for example..
When you try to logon to the machine, in your log.nmbd you will see 
something like:
*Doing a node status request to the domain master browser for workgroup 
SAMBA at IP 192.168.0.105 failed.*

The solution to this, after much frustration is:

It is cached data in wins.dat. Stop samba, drop the file, restart and the problem goes away.

You can lsof while samba is running, grep for samba tasks, and see what dirs samba uses on your distro. Then grep in those dirs for the bad IP.

Cheers; Dan
