Hello,
I am have a strange problem with remote samba servers and I am hopping some
one can give me a insite into what is happening. First is the Setup I have 2
remote sites connected to a central site by 2 T1 Lines. The two remote sites
each have a IBM X305 Running RedHat 9 and Samba 3.0.2a per/Site. Each box
per site has been configured to be the local master(cross Subnet
Browsing).All Sites use a class C Subnet. So
Remote Site A --> 172.27.20.0/24 x305 RH9, Samba 3.0.2a
Remote Site B --> 172.27.10.0/24 x305 RH9, Samba 3.0.2a
Central Site --> 172.27.1.0/24 Has 1 Windows 2000 Server Box Running Wins(
172.27.1.17), 2 Domain Controllers win NT 4.0
( 1 Primary, 1 Backup) all servers are connected to the wins box for name
resolution.
Below is a example of the remote sites config.
#======================= Global Settings
====================================[global]
#================== remote Annouce Settings
================================= remote announce = 172.27.1.7
remote browse sync = 172.27.1.7

#======================Printer Stuff ===================================

lprm command = /usr/bin/lprm -P%p %j
queueresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start

lpresume command = /usr/sbin/lpc -P%p start
#=======================Winbindd Stuff =================================
password server = *
winbind uid = 10000-20000
winbind gid = 10000-20000
winbind separator = +
template shell = /bin/bash
template homedir = /home/%D/%U
winbind cache time = 60
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
After starting the servers everything seems to work for about 1 week. That
is Cross subnet Routing is working. I can double click on server and see
shares, printers, etc. But after that 1 week things stop working I can't
double click on the two remote servers. If I try to mount a resource from
the central site I get the following windows 2000 workstation error:
"System error 53 has occurred.
The network path was not found."
on a Windows 2000 Box.
I also took a samba box on my central site and used smbclient -L athena
smbclient -L athena
