...to the number of shares in a browselist (or at least not a silly limit of 90 =) ?) version used is 1.9.18-HEAD. (Not wanting to spam the list, I did not include the used conf file(s) yet in this message). I'd be happy to send it on request though.

Is there a way to prevent browselists from machines other than those of my choosing to show up in the browselists/network neighbourhood? I don't want win95 clients that offer shares themselves to show up in the network neighbourhood. Michel. -- Michel van der Laan - michel@nijenrode.nl http://www.nijenrode.nl/~michel

Michel, One approach that hasn't been suggested is to block access to the netbios nameservice port on the samba host with a firewalling rule. That way the other computers on the subnet can't register themselves with nmbd. Suppose that your internal network is all within the 192.168.15.0/24 network. Each Windows workstation will automatically announce itself with a udp packet broadcast

...n't reveal much (and doesnt even mention that it's loading the lmhosts file anywhere), even when debugging is set to level 9 or so.. I also explicitely supplied the -H parameter to nmbd, without success. Is there something else I should check ? Michel. -- Michel van der Laan - michel@nijenrode.nl http://www.nijenrode.nl/~michel

...mplemented a method of on-access virusscanning of files on a samba share? For Linux, I only know of Sophos and McAfee virusscanners but neither of them can scan files as they are written or read. Is there possibly a hook of some sort in samba for this? Michel. -- Michel van der Laan - michel@nijenrode.nl http://www.nijenrode.nl/~michel

...uded, even though those shares are accessable to me.. I can only explain this by the browser-daemon not evaluating the %G variable (just like "testparm" ignores this). Is this fixable ? I would very much like a group-dependant browselist... Michel. -- Michel van der Laan - michel@nijenrode.nl http://www.nijenrode.nl/~michel

We are using samba to give our NT users access to our UNIX servers (running Solaris 2.5.1) and to give our UNIX users, using Wincenter, access to their UNIX directories. We want to be able to run a virus checker (Network Associates VirusScan) from a NT 4.0 workstation and have it check the samba (UNIX directories). Since we want to centralize this activity, I want to be"root" on the

This may not be completely samba-related, but chances are someone here might know: when a connected share isn't used for a while, appearantly it gets disconnected (Windows95 explorer won't show this, but running a "net use" command will). Usually this isn't a problem, but sometimes some applications barf on this. Is there a way to prevent shares from getting disconnected,
