Hi,
I have just set up samba on my FreeBSD 4.5 stable box, and have it
integrating quite nicely with windows 2000 server ( not set up as a PDC
), however the FreeBSD server keeps dialing out approx every 10 minutes
or so.
The FreeBSD Server is also acting as a DNS Server ( IPv4 ) and the dial
up is handled through the tunneling device. This has been working fine
until I have installed samba and jdk1.3 plus some java tools.
I really cant think that the jdk or the java tools would be calling out,
as these are not even running, so I presume that it must be samba.
Any help much appreciated.
My smb.conf is as follows ( names adjusted )
// ---------------- BEGIN -------------------
[global]
workgroup = workgroup
server string = File Server
hosts allow = 10.0.0. 127.
load printers = no
log file = /root/logs/samba
max log size = 50
security = user
encrypt passwords = no
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
dns proxy = no
client code page=850
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writeable = yes
[tmp]
comment = Temporary file space
path = /tmp
read only = no
public = yes
[backup]
comment = Backup directory
path = /usr/backups
read only = no
writable = yes
printable = no
public = no
valid users root
create mask = 0600
// ----------------- END --------------------

Tim Preece.
You mentioned the magic word - DNS When Windows machines use dns to lookup windows names they can try all sorts of combinations of hostname and domainname (NT domainname included) ideally, tell the samba server not to act as a DNS proxy and if possible, don't let your windows clients use dns at all. All-in-all it's very tricky thing, running windows clients on a dial-on-demand link - as I have found out to my cost. I surmised on all the occations I attempted that if windows machines find themselves on a network they assume that it is for accessing the internet and I can verify that this actually happend on an NT 4.5 SBS machine as well.

Try to give samba a "interfaces = your_ethernet" and a "bind interfaces only = yes" lines in the [global] section. Another solution might be setting up a firewall and disallow outgoing traffic on ports 137-139 tcp and udp via the dialup device.

Thanks Caio, It was indeed the interfaces configuration that was missing, however I have not needed to implement the bind interfaces only option. Is it possible to set samba ( 2.2.3a ) up as a password server for windows 2000. Regards Tim Preece.

Have a look at the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf in the docs subdir of the source tree. Chapter 8 is "How to Configure Samba 2.2 as a Primary Domain Controller".
