Hi all... Here's my setup... A simple linux 2.2 box with samba installed... 2 nics... one is a public IP from my isp.... the other is a private IP... (192.168.1.1) I have a bunch of workstations that login on the private IP subnet... I am wondering if anyone could login from the the public IP subnet....? If so... can I block it? I ask this because I noticed in my /var/log/smb that all these usernames were trying to login to samba and were all being rejected....(non -existant in passwd file) names I have no idea where they came from.... The log did not tell me the IP that they were coming from..... Usually when I login from my 192.168.1.19 win98 box.. it logs nicely and tells me the IP and stuff...and also when I typed my password wrong.... Any help is really appreciated.... One more note: This would have nothing do to with Napster would it? I access Napster from my windows box on my Private IP subnet... and if someone downloads a mp3 from me... somehow.. napster would be trying to login into samba? thanks Mike
