Hi, here are my problems :) a) I've a small LAN with 2 PC running a recent version of win 95 and a Linux box with samba. All works fine, but when a PC with windows reboot or when you log off and enter with another user *or the same* it is unable to find my samba box. If I start and stop smbd and nmbd, It shows up again. Any help to avoid this? Samba 1.9.17p4 P.S. what is a master? In another LAN I've: [yurj@naima yurj]$ smbclient -L naima Added interface ip=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX bcast=XXX.XXX.XXX.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Server time is Mon Mar 23 11:45:02 1998 Timezone is UTC+1.0 Password: Domain=[MIO] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 1.9.17p4] security=user Server=[NAIMA] User=[yurj] Workgroup=[MIO] Domain=[MIO] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- homes Disk Home Directories hpljl2 Printer hp IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 1.9.17p4) yurj Disk Home Directories This machine has a browse list: Server Comment --------- ------- NAIMA Samba 1.9.17p4 This machine has a workgroup list: Workgroup Master --------- ------- my.domain.dom UDINE MASGK FREIA MIO NAIMA OGNISSANTI DAMICO WORKGROUP LUCY Can someone quickly elaborate on this? b) When I'm using diald, I would like to avoid the link to come up when someone on the LAN use samba share. It happen most of the times, but for example when a PC with windows reboot or when you log off and enter with another user *or the same* the link goes up. I'm usind diald 0.16 and dialdconfig *with rpm packages available at ftp.redhat.com* I've put the ignore on tcpo and udp connections on both source and dest for netbios-ns, netbios-ssn, netbios-dgm but still the link goes up. Any help. I know that b) is maybe off topic, but it is related in some form :-) Thanx
