[Samba] Do I need two instances of Samba on the same machine (3rd request) ?
I have two subnets S1 and S2 and only one machine running samba, but this machine is connected to both subnets, ahs one interface in each subnet and is acting as a router. I want to have a workgroup that spans the two subnets, so any machine in subnet S1 should see all the machines regardless of their subnet when doing browsing. I know that to do this I need: -One LMB in each subnet using Samba. -One of the LMB of the two subnets should be a DMB and at the same time a WINS server. -I configure all the clients (Windows and Linux) to use WINS. Since I only have one machine connected to both subnets running samba, I think I need to run two instances of samba (smbd and nmbd) in that machine each one binded to one interface and using different smb.conf files. Is that the only solution ? Thanks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business - Try our new resources site! http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/resources/

Maybe a normal and a chrooted samba can resolve your problem

[Samba] Do I need two instances of
Samba on the same machine (3rd
10/03/2005 12:33 request) ?
I have two subnets S1 and S2 and only one machine
running samba, but this machine is connected to both
subnets, ahs one interface in each subnet and is
acting as a router.
I want to have a workgroup that spans the two subnets,
so any machine in subnet S1 should see all the
machines regardless of their subnet when doing
browsing.
I know that to do this I need:
-One LMB in each subnet using Samba.
-One of the LMB of the two subnets should be a DMB and
at the same time a WINS server.
-I configure all the clients (Windows and Linux) to
use WINS.
Since I only have one machine connected to both
subnets running samba, I think I need to run two
instances of samba (smbd and nmbd) in that machine
each one binded to one interface and using different
smb.conf files. Is that the only solution ?
Thanks

Is that the only solution ?Why? You said these will all be in the same workgroup, thus you want them to see the same resources. Run one Samba instance as the WINS server and disable browsing on the clients (easy if the Samba server is also the DHCP server). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

And I have checked that the instance of Samba is listening on both subnets. What do u mean with disable the browsing in the clients ? I want the clients to be able to browse the workgroup --- Adam Tauno Williams <awilliam@whitemice.org> wrote:> > Since I only have one machine connected to both > > subnets running samba, I think I need to run two > > instances of samba (smbd and nmbd) in that machine > > each one binded to one interface and using > different > > smb.conf files.

[Samba] Do I need two instances of Samba on the same machine (3rd request) ?
I already have all the clients in both subnets
configured to use WINS and configured to be a p-node.
These are my lines in the DHCP server:
-----------------------------------------------------
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option netbios-node-type 2;
-----------------------------------------------------
I rewrite my configuration to check whether I have
some error:
INTERNET
|
__eth1__
|---------eth0|_______|eth2---------|
192.168.0.0/24 Gateway 192.168.1.0/24
<------------------------------------>
WORKGROUP
eth0:192.168.0.1 and gateway of the 192.168.0.0/24
eth2:192.168.1.1 and gateway of the 192.168.1.0/24
eth1:public IP, doing NAT of the internal subnets
The Gateway is a Fedora Core 3 box where I have Samba
installed. I have Samba configured to be a WINS server
in that machine.
What I have now and it doesn't work is the following:
In the gateway machine I have one instance of Samba
running with this configuration:
-----------------------------------------------------
hosts allow=127. 192.168.0. 192.168.1.
...
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192
...
interfaces=192.168.0.1/24 192.168.1.1/24 127.0.0.1/8
bind interfaces only=yes
...
#To be the DMB
domain master = yes
local master = yes
os level = 255
preferred master = yes
...
#To be the WINS server
name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast
wins support = yes
dns proxy = no
------------------------------------------
I know I need to make what I want work:
1-One LMB in each subnet
2-One DMB
3-One WINS server and all the clients using WINS
This is why I thought in having two Samba servers in
the gateway machine one binded to each interface
(eth0,eth2), and one of them being the DMB and WINS.
Because it seems that with only one Samba instance in
that machine it doesn't work.
What happens now is the following, the SMB networking
within the 192.168.0.0 network works perfect, but they
only see themselves. And the machines in the
192.168.1.0 can not even open the network neigbourhood
because there is an error (error 53 doing net view).
But IP routing works between the two subnets, I have
checked the ping between machines in the two subnets,
and I have no Firewall rule filetring traffic between
the two subnets. So i don't have any idea about what
could be failing.
Thanks !
