Good morning, i recently had to change the IP address of my RH7.3 samba file server. The config is pretty much standard and had been working for about a year. Once i changed the IP address, i started getting the message "the domain password you supplied is not correct, or access to your logon server has been denied". Changing my IP address back resolves the issue. Also, adding a "netbios name" directive to my smb.conf that changes the name of my server solves the problem. i have rebooted everythang a bunch of times, checked hosts files, dns entries. i just cannot figure out what is causing the problem. Is there someplace where the netbios name is cached that survives reboots? Normally my server uses its linux name of "HER" for it's netbios name. It's old IP address is 192.168.0.4 and it's new address is 192.168.5.4. thanks in advance, dean [global] workgroup = KISSES netbios name = BIGSERVER server string = Samba Server printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = lprng log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 remote announce = 192.168.2.255 192.168.1.255 192.168.3.255 192.168.4.255 local master = yes domain master = yes preferred master = yes domain logons = yes wins support = yes dns proxy = no [Home] comment = Jeeper's home path = /home/jeepers browseable = yes writable = yes create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 [netlogon] comment = Network Logon Service path = /usr/local/samba/netlogon guest ok = yes writable = no share modes = no [Profiles] path = /usr/local/samba/profiles browseable = yes guest ok = yes [Storage] path = /storage browseable = yes writeable = yes create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writable = no printable = yes
