===============================
Workarounds appear to include:
===============================1)changing "lo" to
"127.0.0.1" in interfaces:
-----------------------------------------
interfaces = eth0, 127.0.0.1
bind interfaces only = Yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
-----------------------------------------
2)disable "bind interfaces only"
-----------------------------------------
interfaces = eth0, lo
bind interfaces only = No
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
-----------------------------------------
of course the above isn't very helpful if you have other interfaces you
don't
want nmbd to bind to.
-----------------------------------------
3)don't use "ip" to create the secondary "lo" but
instead use the older less
funtional "ifconfig" which will only define the new address by
creating an
alias name such as "lo:0".
===============================
On the surface this seems like improper operation and that nmbd should be able
to deal with secondary addresses.
