[Samba] broken swat when using socket address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, v3.2.8
We are trying out samba 3.2.8. All of our samba servers have multiple network interfaces. With version 3.0.31 we were able to use Socket address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, 127.0.0.1 and nmbd worked fine as did swat. With 3.2.8 that syntax causes nmbd to crash and complain about an invalid address. If we adjust the syntax to use Socket address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Or socket address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 127.0.0.1 Nmbd starts and continues to run. However, the swat status tab shows nmbd as "not running" when it IS running. Is this a known issue or can we "configure" around it. Our v3.2.8 globals: [global] workgroup = OUR_WORKGROUP realm = SOMEWHERE.EDU netbios aliases = ALIAS3 server string = Our File Server interfaces = lo, 127.0.0.1, eth0:2 bind interfaces only = Yes security = DOMAIN password server = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx log level = 0 syslog = 0 syslog only = Yes max log size = 50000 name resolve order = host socket address = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 127.0.0.1 socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=20480 SO_SNDBUF=20480 load printers = No printcap name = /dev/null usershare path = /usr/lib/samba/usershares template homedir = /home/%U hosts deny = all block size = 4096 veto oplock files = /*.*db/ strict locking = No Helen
