I'm sure this has been answered, but alas I cannot find it....

My machine runs under DHCP, and tends to change its number every reboot
(which only happens when we lose power). Unfortunately, I have to
hardcode my IP into /etc/hosts for Samba to talk properly, which I must
then change later.

How do I have the hosts file change so Samba is always talking properly?

you could always write a quick* perl script to edit the host file
after the ether card is initialized, but there may be a neatclean way
for this to be done.
