hi,
I wonder if it is possible to do a domain-logon to a domain-server which
is placed in a different subnet.
I have the following primitive layout:
a) some win95 clients
b) a NT-server
c) a linux-server on both subnets,
which acts as a router.
192.168.2/255.255.255.0 = win95
| | eth2
-----+---+---...----+----
| linux router + samba 17p4
+--------+--- 192.168.1/255.255.255.0
eth1 | NT
I have managed to get across subnet browsing to work, but only if
the linux-box wins the browser election (?).
I do not know how to make across subnet logon to work.
the win95 clients always tell "no domain-server available" (sorry,
that is the translation of the german text).
When doing a tcpdump, I see that the win95-clients send a broadcast
to 192.168.2.255, asking for the domain ("HBLADOMAIN", type 0x00),
but the linux-box will never answer.
The NT-server is also in this domain.
Should I put the linux-box in a different domain ? Should it also be
part of the "HBLADOMAIN".
I have turned on wins support and wins proxy on the linux box.
But regardless if I enable wins and enter the linux adress in the
server field on the win95 box, finding the domain-server will
fail always.
Is there any method of adding static entries to the samba-configuration ?
Like, telling that where the server for HBLADOMAIN can *always* be found ?
I decided that TCP/IP should be the only protocol on the net, and the
IP-adress of any servers are unlikely to change.
Here is part of my /etc/smb.conf
[global]
; null passwords = yes
; encrypt passwords = no
; workgroup = nixdomain
workgroup = hbladomain
; workgroup = unix_domain
; workgroup = haitauwa_domain
case sensitive = no
logon path = \\HS1\Beprofil\%U
; logon path = /disk2/win95/Beprofil/A01
; logon script = \\HS1\NETLOGON\LOGONSCR.BAT
logon script = LOGONSCR.BAT
; domain controller = hs1
domain logons = no
domain master = no
local master = no
preferred master = no
os level = 15
; os level = 1
wins support = yes
; wins server = 192.168.1.253
wins proxy = yes
interfaces = 192.168.1.254/24 192.168.2.254/24
guest account = smbuser
as you see, I have already played around a lot with the config-file,
but cannot get it to work. i.e., "domain controller = hs1" did not
have
any influence on the behaviour :-(
(hs1 is the netbios name of the NT-server).
