One of my SAMBA servers seems to be unable to be accessed by my last few Win98 clients since its auto-update installed a new kernel and enticed me into rebooting it. After some searching, I discovered that it is not listening on UDP ports 137 and 138 like it used to. The Fedora 8 auto-update installed samba 3.0.28a a few weeks ago, and this may in fact be the first samba restart since then. Has there been any change in defaults ? I tried adding "disable netbios = no" to smb.conf, but this did not change the behaviour. Is that the setting that one would change if one wanted to remove UDP service in favor of TCP-only ? / Lars Poulsen

Amazing what one can forget to check when panic sets in!! I am kind of surprised at how much of the file service works in the absence of nmbd. / Lars Poulsen
