Well Samba isn't my strong point, but I can answer a couple of your
questions for you.

The /24 does identify a range, but not in the way you are thinking it
does.  The /NN indicates the number of bits (starting from the front of
the ip address) that are to remain fixed.  So since each number between
dots is an octet or byte of of 8 bits, the /24 means that the first
three numbers should remain fixed, but that the last byte (.1) can
included any number (1 through 255).  A /32 netmask indicates just that
one IP address, and a /8 would indicate a class A address.

My guess would be something like this:

interfaces =3D eth0 192.168.0.1/24 lo 127.0.0.1/32
=20
But again, I don't know what I'm talking about as far as that is
concerned.

ISC =3D Internet Software Consortium, they're the group that wrote BIND
and DHCPD and INN.

I hope this has helped to shed some light on your questions...
