[Samba] Samba wont join a work group behind iptables doing dnat ....
Hi, I have Samba running on a Linux box with a non-routable IP address (192.168.y.y), I have a second Linux box with a real world IP 132.x.x.x doing destination network address translation (dnat) using iptables forwarding all incoming traffic tcp and udp ports 137 through 139 to the box with samba running on it (192.168.y.y). I am unable to get my samba machine (192.168.y.y) to appear in a workgroup on the 132.x.x.x network. The [globals] section of my smb.conf file looks like this, workgroup = ADMIN netbios name = jersey netbios aliases = santacruz server string = Samba Server encrypt passwords = Yes username level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 5 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 load printers = No preferred master = False local master = No domain master = False dns proxy = No remote announce = 132.x.x.a/ADMIN 132.x.x.b/ADMIN hide unreadable = Yes hide dot files = Yes Notes 1. The 'netbios name' is the name of the samba server as reported by hostname the 'netbios alias' is the name of the machine on the 132.x.x.x network doing the dnat. 2. 132.x.x.a is a Microsoft Windows NT PDC, 132.x.x.b is a Microsoft Windows NT BDC. I have a valid logon account on the Microsoft Windows domain I am trying to join. Mark -- "You don't know what you don't know!"
