/var is obviously full.

Look at /var/crash. If you've ever crashed, you have a system
image there that's very big.

Also, check /var/mail for huge mailboxes.

Suggestion: if you have another slice that is larger, make a "mail"
directory there, do a cp -R of the mail in /var/mail to it and then
symlink the new directory to /var/mail.

You did the right thing putting the entry in /etc/hosts. My experience
has been that Sambe will *not* run if it can't do a nameserver lookup
on it's host.
