samba - Jun 2003 - Multiply Domains with Samba

I'd like to know if it's possible to have multiply domains in a single
machine
running samba. Wich version is it available?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes,

You can either use the include directive to include a configuration file
on the fly, based on the server name the client connects to.

e.g.  include = %L.conf

Better yet, and what works for me currently (not just theory) is to
runmultiple  smbd / nmbd processes on the same machine, a smbd and nmbd
parent process for each interface, whether real or aliased. 

You do this by specifying different configuration files in the startup
script. 

You configuration files will also need to specify different directories
for lock files. As far as the interfaces make sure you use the following
directives in each config file.

bind interfaces only = yes
interfaces = ethx
socket address = IP address of ethx

If you want to use the same password file, just point to the same one in
both configuration files. Backup your password files first...as always
;)

Cheers

Thanks for the hints.

I've just implemented the second way you've mentioned. It work's
(not as I
wanted), but I think there's a small problem. When you use "bind
interfaces
only = yes" you have to set up what interfaces you would like to bind. So, 
you must set loopback interface in interfaces settings (like interfaces = 
ethx lo) to permit smbpasswd to connect to the server using its default mode 
in order to change a password. But, using several samba configuration files, 
you have to set loopback interfaces in each of them, but the adress cannot be 
the same (like lo:1 or 127.0.0.2). I thought about set up virtual loopbacks 
interfaces, but I'm not sure if it works. What have you done about it?

Sincerely yours
