[Samba] Nmbd: Static Mappings - To replace a microsoft server.
Hi All, I've currently got a samba server setup as a secondary WINS server (on the client side) and have the following in the smb.conf file: [global] wins support = yes dns proxy = yes name resolve order = wins dns hosts lmhosts and have a number of entries in my /etc/hosts file: 10.1.0.151 server1 10.1.0.150 server2 10.1.0.1 server3 and these resolve fine. This is the only way I could find to do static mappings the same as M$ WINS server did. Now, the next problem I have it I need to replicate the static mappings, Domain entry. ie, Static Mappings, Add Mapping, Select Domain and start plonking addresses of your domain controllers. In short how? I don't think my settings above are ideal but I've not found out what is the way to do it. Why static addresses you might ask (like many others I've talked to). 1. for Servers of which I don't have control (on a WAN) 2. for Servers that don't have SMB setup. ie, web servers, routers, printers anything that comes to mind. 3. for NAT addresses to the internet. I realize i can do 2 & 3 with dynamic DNS or xDNS or whatever but I don't want to. :) more reasons which I can't be bothered explaining here. I guess I should have a look at the Samba 3.0.0 and see if this is fixed/supported or whatever, but I'm not a programmer and things like CVS scare me :) i do however read Man pages and google till i'm purple in the face. Anyway, just some thoughts. Comments anyone? Regards Matthew

[Samba] Nmbd: Static Mappings - To replace a microsoft server.
I'm trying to share my host file to be included in #INCLUDE section in
lmhosts at client side, so that I just have to maintain on a single server.
Tell me if you had any better ideas. ;)

Hi All,
I've currently got a samba server setup as a secondary WINS server (on the
client side) and have the following in the smb.conf file:
[global]
wins support = yes
dns proxy = yes
name resolve order = wins dns hosts lmhosts
and have a number of entries in my /etc/hosts file:
10.1.0.151 server1
10.1.0.150 server2
10.1.0.1 server3
and these resolve fine. This is the only way I could find to do static
mappings the same as M$ WINS server did.
Now, the next problem I have it I need to replicate the static mappings,
Domain entry. ie, Static Mappings, Add Mapping, Select Domain and start
plonking addresses of your domain controllers.
In short how? I don't think my settings above are ideal but I've not
found
out what is the way to do it.
Why static addresses you might ask (like many others I've talked to).
1. for Servers of which I don't have control (on a WAN)
2. for Servers that don't have SMB setup. ie, web servers, routers,
printers anything that comes to mind.
3. for NAT addresses to the internet.
I realize i can do 2 & 3 with dynamic DNS or xDNS or whatever but I
don't
want to. :) more reasons which I can't be bothered explaining here.
