Greetings,
I've been trying to use Samba in a virtual server configuration on one of my
linux boxes and am running into trouble. My intention is to get a single samba
server to act as 3 seperate servers (netbios names 'Audio',
'Video',
'Pictures') so that later they can be migrated to different machines
with
little effort.
In reading the docs, lists, and available books I've come to configure it in
the following way:
linux server /etc/samba/smb.conf:
#Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = mshome
netbios aliases = audio video pictures
security = share
server string = Samba Server
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
encrypt passwords = yes
# disable printer and faxes
disable spoolss = yes
# include shares from actual NETBIOS name
include = /etc/samba/%L.conf
/etc/samba/video.conf:
[Video]
comment = Video
browseable = yes
path = /data/Video
force user = nobody
force group = nobody
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
/etc/conf/audio.conf
[Audio]
comment = Audio
browseable = yes
path = /data/Audio
force user = nobody
force group = nobody
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
/etc/conf/pictures.conf
[Pictures]
comment = Pictures
browseable = yes
path = /data/Pictures
force user = nobody
force group = nobody
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
The trouble I'm having is that eventually each virtual server shows the
shares
from all the others. When I first startup samba on the server and connect to
the servers 'audio', 'video', 'pictures' from a WinXP
system all is well (each
server only shows its single share). Then after a short period of time
(minutes?) each of those servers shows all three shares (Audio, Video,
Pictures).
Any ideas what is going on or how I can fix this?
Thanks,
Tim
