I am configuring Linux (2.0.33) as a local router. I am wanting to use
Samba (1.9.18p3) to "manage" the browse lists on my network so that
computers on each subnet can browse resources on the other subnets. My
local network consists of Win95 and NT40 workstations with NT40 servers.
My test configuration consists one token ring segment on one side of
the Samba box (network .192) and one ethernet on the other side (network
.128) (we are using 27 bit subnetting). Due to the needs of a remote
network we are connected to, we are passing NetBios over IPX. I can't
change that yet.
|----| |-------| |-----|
| A |--------| SAMBA |--------| B |
|----| |-------| |-----|
Workstation A (NT40) can see SAMBA in the browse list, but not
Workstation B (Win95). Workstation B has an empty browse list. I am
only running nmbd, since I am not interested in sharing resources. My
Primary Domain Controller (NTS40) is on the same subnet as A. Below is
my smb.conf file. The extra interfaces defined are for making the SAMBA
box a full router.
-----------------------------------------
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
"testparm"
# to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors.

Hi, I have some naive questions about resources sharing between SAMBA machines and between SAMBA and NT machines. (1) I setup one UNIX as PDC by setting workgroup = SAMBA domain logons = yes domain sid = S-1-5-21-123-456-789-123 ... What should I setup for the second SAMBA machine, in order to share its resources to the client machines once they logon to the SAMBA domain? (2) If NT is the PDC, how can SAMBA join into its domain? By setup the following? domain logons = yes domain controller = <NT PDC> ... (3) If SAMBA is the PDC, how can the NT join into its domain? Siwei Zhang Division of Research Kaiser Permanente
I am having a strange problem, and have been reading through the samba files that i normally get and have yet to find a solution to a problem that i am having. Here is the current network configuration. two pc's running windows 95 one pc running slackware linux 2.0.33 ethernet connections workgroup=e.u.a. \\archive_1\ -- Pentium 166 WIN95 \\info_attic\ -- 486DX/66 WIN95 \\arch\ -- 486SX/25 LINUX samba 1.8.17p5 running tcp/ip connection's across the network I can access the win95 boxes using smbclient, i can see the linux box under network neighborhood. However, I can not access the linux box. I keep getting a message that says: \\Arch is not accessible. The computer or sharename could not be found. Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again. I have tried everything that I could think of short of paying for tech support :) I am just at a stand still in trying to get the win95 boxes to recognize the linux box over the network. It just seems strange to me that I can use smbclient out the win95 boxes, can see the linux box on the network neighborhood but yet can not access. Following is a copy of my smb.conf file, if anyone can give me a hand, I followed the examples and tried my best to tailor it to my networking needs, was certain that i had it right but alas, to no avail. Any one who can lend a hand would be greatly appreciated.

hello, I was wondering if anyone has had the same problem I have or if anyone knows what is going wrong. I have 1.9.18p10 and everything is working fine exept the browsing..hold on dont stop reading just yet. I know there is tons of docs on browsing and problems with it, but this seems to be different than anything in the docs.. The samba server doesn't show up in a regular browse list but if I use "find computer" it shows up no problem. I have Advanced File and Print Server on an SCO box that is acting as the PDC (I believe my problem lies here) and in the log.nmb I get a message "process_lanman_packet: on subnet 192.168.1.8 ignoring browse packet command code 4 from MHI#00600<20> IP 192.168.1.2 to AFPS<00>" where .8 is the samba server and MHI is the SCO box and AFPS is the domain name. If anyone has any suggestions or even tell me I am stupid and where to look in the docs, It would be greatly appreciated. I am trying to show everyone that this little pile of free software can outperform Novell and then some. :) thanks Robert
Everyone, I have Samba 2.0.2 running under Solaris 2.6 and I can connect with no problems under UNIX with the smbclient.

A run of testparm seems to run OK. We are on a flat network with no router the PC are even on the same switch as the server. I must have something very simple wrong in my conf file . I have tried both the inetd and deamons method for startup with no difference. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks from a newbie! Jon Crabtree

Hi, I'm having a problem with a particular server on my network. The globals section is included below, for reference. Two other servers use exactly the same globals section. The other two servers are visible in the browse list from NT workstation in the domain, however, the third machine will not appear. SaMBa version 2.0.5a, the PDC has machine accounts for all the servers, and smbpasswd -j ran correctly on the errant machine, with output to the effect that it had joined the domain. Any ideas...

This sounds like the typical master browse list update interval. Not really a Samba issue, at least I don't think it is!

Hi, I've asked this question some days ago but nobody answered me. If it's a Problem with the 'data' included please tell me. I'll try to configure browsing on W2k and ME Clients. But every time I'll get a No such Workgroup error. All clients are in the same Workgroup (no cross Subnets) Samba is configured as local master browser and a guest user is set up. I read the BROWSING.txt and all I think I should have done I've done ;-). The Workgroup name is SYSTEM the samba server is daemon with IP 192.168.1.1 Where does the UNICAST_SUBNET come from?

I followed the PDC Howto that mentioned to point to an external WINS source, and the config would leave you as the Browse master and Local Master, thus should allow browsing through it? But when I don't use WINS, and wait, there is no browsing it just tells me '$Domain not available' from windows 2000, and the win98 client. This didn't bother me too bad because I had used local wins on the previous samba. So I just turned wins support = yes and then restarted, rebooted each workstation with the wins address configured, and once again, the Win2k and the Win98 box cannot browse, but the exact same wins config worked last time. When I check the wins.dat file it is populated and has the user logged in, and the workstation to IP, but just doesn't seem to give it out to clients? Anyone see something similar before?

I cannot see any of the computers in my workgroup from windows, looking them up from freebsd works, even querying the subnet for masterbrowser works (from the samba-server (bsd)). Why does this happen? Greetings, Martin.

I am facing the same problem as you, the network knows what is its master browser but it fails to display the neighborhood. My suspects are that there is a problem in name resolution (digging the doc I have found that if name resolution do not work then browsing do not work too). I have been a bit busy lately so I have to check it better. Let me know what was your problem if you find it. Praise
Hi, More problems... getting my monies worth :-) I have two subnets. Basically I cannot get the machines on the subnet that the Samba server is *not* on the join the domain. They just sit there for a couple of minutes and then claim that the domain server cannot be found. Browsing from either subnet only shows machines on that subnet, although if you specify a machine on the "other side" you can connect to shared resources (supplying a suitable username and password) no problem at all. Thanks
In a word - no. Its just three servers, two W2K, one SuSE Linux running Samba. Samba install does not have master browse set or anything. Why should it? Is this my problem.
