Hello. I'm a Graduate Student, and I'm trying to set up Samba on my
Solaris 2.8 box so that my team members can network map their home
accounts from my Solaris box onto their PC.
Everything works great within my home. (i.e. I have a home network, and
all my PC's can mount my UNIX home directory.)
My problem: I can't network map my Home Directory outside my local
subnet. (i.e. I get the following Windows error message: Can't find
location or something in effect that it can't find my Solaris box) I
can ping and telnet to my Solaris box outside AT&T's subnet, but I
can't
use samba. There are no logs created in /usr/local/samba/var for the PC
connecting. I even tried to create a lmhosts file on the PC outside my
subnet, but that didn't help
I've been reading the samba news-groups and using google.com, but
nothing is helping me. I just want to map my home directory by doing
the following within the map network drive dialog:
\\65.96.xxx.xxx\username <file:///\\65.96.xxx.xxx\username> outside my
subnet.
Information:
1. Samba Version: 2.2.2
2. OS: Solaris 2.8 with all the recommended OS patch from SUN -
SunOS unknown 5.8 Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-1
3. /etc/services file contains:

6. I have a proper user.map file and samba password file in place.
Because I can connect within my home network.
7. When I do a "ps -u 0" I do see the smbd and nmbd process, but
why do I have 2 nmbd process?
8. When I try to connect outside the AT&T's subnet there are no log
files created in /usr/local/samba/var for that particular PC.
9. Samba would make the graduate class run smoother for the nine
people in my project. Not all of my project members know what UNIX is,
only 2 out of the nine.
10. I even opened the following ports on my router: 135/TCP,
137/UDP, 138/UDP, 139/TCP, and 445/TCP, and this didn't help. I
eventually broke down and directly connected my Solaris Box to my Cable
Modem, but again this didn't help.
Thanks, Jim Prejsnar

James,
You do realize what a security hole this is correct?
