I've got a couple of new errors in the logs:

>From /var/log/samba/log.__ffff_192.168.1.3:
[2010/06/15 11:56:58,  0] lib/util_sock.c:1564(matchname)

and from /var/log/samba/log.camille:

  Can't become connected user!


What's with the ffff:192.168.1.3?  Camille's address IS 192.168.1.3, and
it seems to know that because it calls the host at the address
'camille'...
