samba - Oct 1997 - Trick question about broadcast

Hi everyone

I have a rather tricky question. We use skip 1.1.1 between our Suns to
sign the IP trafic. A side effect of that is that the Suns can't see each
other's broadcast. Now I want to set up two samba servers, with and
without encrypted passwords. They must recognice each other, since one of
the severs also is a domain master and they should both be annonunced in a
different subnet. Any idea how i can do this. Is it possible to run two
samba servers on one machine (with only one network interface)?

tia

Johan

Setup one of the samba servers as a wins server ('wins support = yes')
and
setup the other one to report to it for wins ('wins server = ip addr of
wins server')

well...sort of, for your main smb.conf have something like the following:

[global]
netbios name = encrypted
netbios aliases = not_encrypted
config file = /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf.%L
...normal smb.conf for encrypted...

then create a totally seperate smb.conf.not_encrypted with:
[global]
netbios name = encrypted
netbios aliases = not_encrypted
...normal smb.conf for not encrypted...

This may also be possible simply by using the 'include = ' flag with %L
substitution to specify the special options for encrypted and non encrypted
while keeping a central config file.
