Well.....maybe you *do* need Samba. But FreeTDS doesn't. ;-)

You're having a harder than usual time of it, in case that helps. Let's see.

Since your /etc/hosts is right, and your interfaces file is right, there are
two
possible problems left.

1. $SYBASE doesn't point to the interfaces file's directory. Does "ls
$SYBASE/interfaces" work as expected?
2. Resolver flakiness. I have heard it on the list here that replacing
the host
name with its IP address or vice versa sometimes resolves (as it were) this
problem.
Don't know why.

BTW, "bugs" doesn't have to be in the DNS; it's the symbolic name of the
database
server. The symbolic name is used to lookup the server's real name (or
address), in
the "query" line.
