I only had the catch all as we had previously had some pc's that we didn't care to setup proper hostnames as they were only in the setup bay for a day then out in the field never to return, or get updates for that matter. The reason I had two for my pc is I was testing something but the duplicate has been removed. I have solved the issue I think by removing the default entry and placing it in the \\management\wpkg\hosts.xml file. But now that we don't really have a "need" for the default entry I have removed it altogether. In reply to your second message the host running this is CentOS 5.6 running samba-3.0.33. But now that I have removed the default entry all seems to be doing well. Thanks to all for the help on this. You guys totally rock! Donny B. |
