Hi list, I use Samba 3.0.24 on Etch. I want to connect to my Samba share trough routed vpn. Samba server works well from the lan, and my openvpn works fine. But something is strange ... In my smb.conf : hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.10.0/24 10.8.0.0/24 hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 bind interfaces only = yes interfaces = 127.0.0.1 192.168.10.254 10.8.0.1 where 192.168.10.254 is my lan interface and 10.8.0.1 is tun0. With this, on my server : me:~$ smbclient -L //10.8.0.1 Error connecting to 10.8.0.1 (Connexion refus?e) Connection to 10.8.0.1 failed But if I use : *bind interfaces only = no*, then connexion works.... me:~# ifconfig [...] eth1 Lien encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:4C:EA:06:02 inet adr:192.168.10.254 Bcast:192.168.10.255 Masque:255.255.255.0 adr inet6: fe80::2e0:4cff:feea:602/64 Scope:Lien UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:326149 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:378521 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 lg file transmission:1000 RX bytes:76237419 (72.7 MiB) TX bytes:264527493 (252.2 MiB) Interruption:11 Adresse de base:0xe400 lo Lien encap:Boucle locale inet adr:127.0.0.1 Masque:255.0.0.0 adr inet6: ::1/128 Scope:H?te UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:84624 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:84624 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 lg file transmission:0 RX bytes:33556895 (32.0 MiB) TX bytes:33556895 (32.0 MiB) tun0 Lien encap:UNSPEC HWaddr 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00 inet adr:10.8.0.1 P-t-P:10.8.0.2 Masque:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:76 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:74 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 lg file transmission:100 RX bytes:10715 (10.4 KiB) TX bytes:10307 (10.0 KiB) So, why the connexion to 10.8.0.1 is refused in "normal" configuration ? My only solution for the moment is to push a route for 192.168.10.0/24 and use \\192.168.10.254 on my windows client, by I'd want to use \\10.8.0.1... Any ideas ? Thanks in advance, Manu
