Hi,
I'm trying to setup a Server only for Subnet Browsing.
The smb.conf on the server looks like:
[global]
workgroup = some.work.group
server string hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/24 192.168.1.0/24 192.168.2.0/24
192.168.3.0/24
192.168.3.0/24
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
interfaces = eth1 eth1:1 eth1:2 eth1:3 eth1:4
bind interfaces only = yes
wins support = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 65
name resolve order = wins hosts
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
syslog = 0
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
security = user
encrypt passwords = true
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
passdb backend = tdbsam guest
obey pam restrictions = yes
; guest account = nobody
invalid users = root
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
There are no dirctory-shares on this server.
Subnetbrwosing sometimes seems to work on my windows workstation. I can see
one VMWare (running on the Windows PC), which is in another subnet than the
Workstation. wins server = 192.168.0.1
But every morning or maybe after a reboot, when I want to browse the
workstation computer list, I just get "Cant access $workgroup. Maybe you
dont
have the permissions to access the networkressource". Then I have to
restart
the samba server and sometimes it works and sometimes not.
On a Linux WS using Konquerors smb:// it doesnt work at all: "Connection
timed
out SOME.WORK.GROUP"
Quering Windows WS from another WS in the same subnet:
mrkofee@daisy:~$ nmblookup donald
querying donald on 192.168.0.255
192.168.0.10 donald<00>
Quering fileserver in another subnet:
mrkofee@daisy:~$ nmblookup raptor
querying raptor on 192.168.0.255
name_query failed to find name raptor
On every "Samba Client/Server" I have wins server = 192.168.0.1 resp.
192.168.1.1.... depending on the subnet the server is located.
192.168.0.1-192.168.6.1 are all defined on the samba server above.
"Subnet-browsing-server":

I found this in the logfiles on the browsing server:
[2006/03/19 11:02:32, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(353)
find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name SOME.WORK.GROUP<1b> for
the
workgroup SOME.WORK.GROUP.
Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup.
any suggestions?
Greetings Chris
