All,
I need to know if samba can be a PDC across subnets (i.e. server is
no .23 and client is on .24) I was told by Redhat that it could not,
which I found hard to believe. This is mission critical because if I can
not find a way to make it work, i get the proverbial pie in the face.
Plus all kinds of crap about pushing for Linux and telling them (boss)
it would work. Any help at all would be appreciated.
Set up: Redhat 7.1 Samba 2.2.1a
Cheers,
Tony

AFAIK to get samba working over different subnets, you'll need to set up a wins server, preferably on the samba server. read the using samba book (the full text is found both at oriellys and in the samba source maybe also in the rh rpms) for more on this. tarjei Tony Ricker wrote:> > All, > I need to know if samba can be a PDC across subnets (i.e. server is > no .23 and client is on .24) I was told by Redhat that it could not, > which I found hard to believe.

You need a WINS server setup correctly so that the PDC will register names correctly with it, and the clients will resolve names correctly with it. Samba 2.2.1a can be that WINS server. I'm about to release Samba 2.2.2 (with a RH7.1 binary) which will fix many of the known issues with Samba 2.2.1a. You might want to test drive it over the next few days. As my ex-boss at VA has just joined RedHat (along with most of VA's professional services team) I'll forward this reply to him also so he can work on fixing RedHat's internal tech support replies w.r.t. Samba. Cheers, Jeremy Allison, Samba Team.

Easeist way: make the pdc a wins server and let the pc point to it. You may also look at the remote announce parameter. If all fails you can still add the pdc to the lmhosts file on the client.
