[Samba] Strange WINS entries with samba 3.07 running as PDC
I have following smb.conf: hosts deny = all hosts allow = 192.168.x.0/32 127.0.0.1/32 name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast interfaces = 192.168.x.y/32 127.0.0.1/32 socket address = 192.168.x.y bind interfaces only = yes disable netbios = yes remote browse sync = 192.168.x.255 remote annouance = 192.168.x.255 wins support = yes Nmbd.log shows strange entries like: __SAMBA__<20> TTL = PERMANENT 192.168.x.y 44.x.y.0 64 If samba is restarted, entries change but they point usually to 44.-networks. This is very annoying since I have nothing to do with those 44.x.y.z networks. I wonder where those 44.x.y.0 entries come from? I have captured network taffic with Ethereal, but there isn't any traffic going to or coming from 44.-networks. Even if whole network connection is disconnected (ethernet cable disconnected) those entries are shown and they change if samba is restarted. If I remove 127.0.0.1/32 (my localhost) from interfaces, 44.x.y.0 entries vanish but samba doesn't function correctly after that. My clients are connected via VPN-tunnels to the server. 192.168.x.y is eth0:1. Maybe I should try to assign own network card to this. Interface eth0 is my VPN endpoint with public IP 195.x.y.z. Samba 3.07 is running at Fedora Core 1 server. Samba rpms are downloaded from download.redhat.fedora.com and rpm versions are: samba-client-3.0.7-2.FC1 samba-3.0.7-2.FC1 samba-swat-3.0.7-2.FC1 samba-common-3.0.7-2.FC1 I have verified samba files with rpm --verify and they are OK.
