I'm not even sure this is a problem with Samba, but here goes*
>From smb.conf:
log file = /opt/samba/var/log/%m.log
As I understand it, this option will create $CLIENT_NETBIOS_NAME.log whenever a
client contacts the Samba server in any way.
However, I've got clients from outside this samba server's subnet
contacting the samba server. I can prove that because a PCs NetBIOS name is
determined by its subnet, and all logs are in the aforementioned form. For
example:
Subnet A: all clients in 172.21.22.0/255.255.255.0. Subnet A has its own master
browser (the samba server for that subnet)
Subnet B: all clients in 172.21.23.0/255.255.255.0. Subnet B has its own master
browser (the samba server for that subnet)
Subnet C has the PDC that services subnets A and B.
What I'm seeing are clients from subnet A requesting sessions with master
browser/samba server B, and vice versa, despite the fact that there are no
shares mounted across subnets, and all sharepoint-mounts are controlled via
login script. This is not an issue of users manually mounting a share. As to the
logs themselves, while some of these logs have useful messages, many are
0-length.
The master browser for subnet A is quite busy, and subnet B not very much so.
The client PCs are all Windows XP, but I was under the impression that, given
the subnet mask, they'd limit queries to that subnet. In addition, each
client has mounted shares ONLY from the samba server on their subnet. Could this
be PDC-related?
Thanks,
Ryan
