I installed a RH6.1 workstation, then using the package tool, added samba. When the machine boots, it looks like samba has started, but none of my Win95 or NT boxes can see the machine. If I log in as root and do a "samba stop", then "samba start" this restarts samba and all of the machines can see the Linux box. I just have to do that once, and can log out of the root account and samba keeps running with no problems. If I shut down the machine and reboot, the problem re-appears. thanks
What does your /etc/hosts look like?
Also, if you run 'ntsysv', is samba selected?
