Hi folks, Has anybody been able to login to a DOMAIN on another subnet w/out a WINS server? I have a multi-homed samba (1.9.18) server serving a token-ring and an ethernet network. My goal is remove one NIC and just have packets go through a router ( the default gateway ) to get to samba server. I created an lmhosts.sam file which does reroute netbios packets from local interface to designated interface on other subnet. The problem is this only seems to work once client is loged in. When client tries to login then the message that client could not be validated against a server..... comes up. Below are the relevant files. Thanks Sven. lmhosts.sam: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx aNetBIOSname #PRE #DOM:aDomainNAME smb.conf: workgroup = aDomainNAME browse list = yes case sensitive = no domain logons = yes domain master = yes dont descend = /proc,/dev guest account = nobody interfaces = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/255.255.255.128 load printers = yes local master = yes lock directory = /var/lock/samba locking = yes log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m logon path = \\%N\%U logon home = \\%N\%U\samba logon script = STARTUP.BAT map hidden = yes max log size = 50 netbios name = aNetBIOSname null passwords = no os level = 65 preferred master = yes preserve case = yes print command = lpr -h -r -P%p %s printcap name = /etc/printcap printing = bsd security = user short preserve case = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY shares & printers........
