It's me again. I really appreciate all the help you people have given me. It's helped out alot! Here is my question: Why when I add a valid users list to my smb.conf files (because I run samba on multiple servers) does it make the network neighbourhood not work for the samba work group? I get: The computer or sharename, could not be found. Make sure you typed it correctly, and try again. Thanks for all the help once again! -- Steve
I hope this is the right forum to post this question... I'm new to Samba, our Samba group disappeared last week and I'm left to continue development. We use Samba 2.0.7 ported to our servers (not Unix or Linux); here is the problem: The PDC is a NT Server, the box running Samba should not try to be a PDC... If I start Samba after the PDC is up, everything is fine... However, if I try to reboot the PDC while my Samba server is running, the NT Server complains that there is another PDC and refuses to start-up its PDC services... Here are a few debug messages that might provide some insight (DEBUGLEVEL=3) 8 10:27:59 D Host [72]: create_server_on_workgroup: Created server entry DIR01063 of type 40009003 (Samba 2.0.7) on workgroup OR-OMNEON. 8 10:27:59 D Host [72]: initiate_myworkgroup_startup: Added server name entry DIR01063 on subnet 10.1.1.239 8 10:27:59 D Host [72]: add_name_to_subnet: Added netbios name *<00> with first IP 10.1.1.239 ttl=0 nb_flags= 0 to subnet UNICAST_SUBNET 8 10:27:59 D Host [72]: add_name_to_subnet: Added netbios name *<20> with first IP 10.1.1.239 ttl=0 nb_flags= 0 to subnet UNICAST_SUBNET 8 10:27:59 D Host [72]: add_name_to_subnet: Added netbios name __SAMBA__<20> with first IP 10.1.1.239 ttl=0 nb_flags= 0 to subnet UNICAS thanks a lot, alex _____________________________________________________ Alexandru Mitaru alexmi@omneon.com System Architect (503) 533-0621 ext 228 Omneon Video Networks (503) 533-5811 FAX
According to my samba book, an os level of 20 is between an NT workstation (16) and an NT server (32). I would make is os level =1 and see what happens.
