Can samba provide access to multiple Windows workgroups? Near as I can tell you can span one workgoup over several subnets w/o problems but I cant seem to make different workgroups to show up. I have 5 RH61/Samba 2.0.6 machines and two Win95a boxes. I have seen this before but have been unable to duplicate it. Henri Please feel free to also directly email me at henris@neandertal.org. I get the digest version so a quicker answer would be greatly appreciated. I have wrestled with this question off and on for about three years, so obviously it is not mission critical but it is an itch. -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Sleep is the brother of death.

[Henri J. Schlereth]> Can samba provide access to multiple Windows workgroups?You can run multiple Sambae on the same machine. Give each one a smb.conf and an IP address. (You must assign multiple IP addresses to your machine; how to do this is OS-dependent.) Make sure you set bind interfaces only = yes in each smb.conf, along with the correct IP addresses. Peter

So them scheme would be kesrith (WORKGROUP) shonjir (WORKGROUP) fire (WORKGROUP) cave (MYGROUP) All are running 2.0.6 Samba and RHL 6.1. Only if the have the same workgroup all are visible. Change the workgroup name and that machine drops off the face of the Network Neighborhood under W95(other two machines) Henri -- ------------------------------------------------------------- "All data leaves a trial.
