Subject: SAMBA was RE: how to change hostname
Well ok I did that, even though it seems I shouldn't have to: Samba was
working on this machine. I saved my smb.conf file on a floppy. Reinstalled
Linux, then copied the file back to /etc/samba. So I figured there could be
no chance of error, with that file at least. Anyway, after I got into
trouble, I checked it again, but I don't see any occurrence of "localhost".
????????????????? So could this file be the problem?

Here is my file for any helpfuls pedants out there
