Hi all, I've installed samba server to act as a PDC. Here some informations : - Linux Version : 2.0.36 - Samba Version : smbd 2.0.0beta3 My Linuxbox has two ethernet interfaces (eth0:200.* and eth1:192.168.1.1) After installing samba, everything worked fine during 20 minutes only ! After that, a strange problem occurred with eth1. The following message appears on the Linux console : " eth1 trasmit timeout status 0000 ID 000 ... " (something that looks like this) So, the internal net (192.168.1.0) stops to work ! I get impressed, but when I kill smbd and nmbd processes, the problem disappeared. My single smb.conf file is : [global] printing = sysv printcap name = /etc/printcap log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m ;lock directory = /usr/local/samba/var/locks load printers = yes guest account = nobody ;path = /tmp share modes = yes ; password server = qmftz1 domain logons = yes domain master = yes preferred master = yes security = user protocol = qmftz1 workgroup = qminas-ftz netbios name = qmftz1 allow hosts = 192.168.1. interfaces = 192.168.1.1/24 server string = Servidor NT via SAMBA create mask = 0644 directory mask = 0755 deadtime = 15 ;nis homedir = true null passwords = no guest ok = no read only = no preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes [homes] browseable = no create mask = 0750 directory mask = 0750 ;[users] ;comment = serv3:/export/home ;path = /export/home ; [netlogon] ; comment = diretorio para profile de usuarios ; browseable = no ; guest ok = no ; path = /usr/local/etc/netlogon ; writable = no ; public = yes ; create mask = 0774 ; directory mask = 0774 [Diversos] comment = diretorio para uso diverso browseable = yes guest ok = no path = /dominio-NT/diversos writable = yes create mask = 0775 directory mask = 0775 force group = fortaleza valid users = renato, ricardo, andre, altaides, lailson, luiz, rafaella, socorro ;allow hosts = lan010, lan011 [Software] comment = diretorio para guardar programas browseable = yes guest ok = no path = /dominio-NT/software writable = yes create mask = 0776 directory mask = 0776 force group = fortaleza valid users = renato, ricardo, andre, altaides, lailson, luiz, rafaella, socorro ;allow hosts = lan010, lan011 Any suggestion will be appreciated !
