Hi all, I've just installed 1.9.18p5 (although I've just got the mail about 1.9.18p6, so I'll be putting that on now) and am having a problem with browsing... [samba@suau1] ~> smbclient -L suau1 Added interface ip=134.225.16.5 bcast=134.225.19.255 nmask=255.255.252.0 Server time is Mon May 11 15:24:39 1998 Timezone is UTC+1.0 Password: Domain=[UNSEEN] OS=[Unix]

Hi, I'm running 1.9.18p7 in two places (two separate networks): one on Solaris 2.5 and one on Linux 2.0.33 (RedHat 4.1). The latter works fine, browsing included, 'smbclient -L server' lists the machines and workgroups/domains. However, this is on a small (two subnet) network. However, the Solaris installation does not appear to be working properly (for browsing... everything

Hi, I posted a couple of times about a problem I was having with browsing, where smbclient (and other clients) showed nothing in the browse list, but wins.dat and browse.dat showed a list and the log showed the server becoming the domain and local master browser. Well, the problem turned out to be permissions on the .../samba/var and .../samba/var/locks directories; not allowing the

Hi, Am I right I thinking that if I turn on 'dns proxy', I can do '\\smb.x.org' (if it fits into 15) letters? I'd like to use 'dns proxy' but only for local addresses in my domain. Would it be possible to do add a 'dns proxy local only = yes' or something (new option) which won't use DNS to resolve names which have a '.' in? (Alternatively, if

Hi All, I'm setting up a central WINS server on campus here and would like to use a Samba machine to do this (we don't have enough 'stable' NT to do it with that, yet). I don't really want to run the whole of Samba on that particular machine (since there is no need [I don't need file/print serving] and to keep someone happy with regards security ;-). Can I just run

Hi, We've been over this before many times, I think... it's about nmbd crashing in 1.9.17 (all patchlevels, AFAIK). Various suggestions have been suggested (cron jobs to kill off / restart nmbd every hour) but no fixes to nmbd itself (I think). Do the Samba team know of a fix (or could they do one; if they know what the problem is)? A new [fast] machine added to our network recently

I'm trying to set up cross-subnet browsing using Samba on a Linux box and a Sparc UltraEnterprise with Win95 and NT Workstation clients. I'm using the Sparc as the domain master and also as the WINS server on the 108 subnet. The Linux box is the local master on the 46 subnet. Both are running Samba 1.9.17alpha4. I can see the conversation between the two samba servers and the browse

Hi, We have a central Samba server which works fine. It also supplies WINS services which work fine. It also builds a browse list which seems to work fine. However, when I open 'Entire Network' on my W95 desktop machine on another subnet, I only see the workgroups / hosts on my subnet. The 95 machine is pointing to the Samba server as a WINS server. If I change the workgroup of

Is this stretching the limits of what Samba was designed to do? I have set up a VPN with 2 LANs (I'll call them EastLAN and WestLAN) interconnected through the internet. On EastLAN there is a samba server configured to be the domain master browser as well as the WINS server. PCs connected to this LAN are Win9X and are all in the workgroup EAST. On the WestLAN there is a samba server

Hi How do I get the following browse-setup to work? --------- | A | |Linux | --------- WG1 192.168.10.0 | | WG2 192.168.10.0 ---------------------- ----------------- | | | -------- -------- -------- | B | | C | | D | |Win98 | |WinNT | |Win98 |

Why does browsing across subnets only work if all of the machines are in the same workgroup? We're really a unix and mac campus, but we're trying to support windows machines by using a samba server to let them print and let the students access a little chunk of disk space. I've got a samba server set up as the workgroup SERVERS, and I've told it to be a domain master, a

Is it possible to browse multiple workgroups on two or more subnets? I have set up samba on either end of a VPN and can browse successfully from either end, but only in the workgroup that samba is configured for. Can Samba be a member of more than one workgroup at the same time? Looking in browse.dat I can see all the machines in samba's workgroup and also the other workgroups, but not the

You can see by the subject I've got an ugly problem. Even though I don't have a Samba server anywhere near the network in question, nobody understands browsing as well as the folks on the Samba team. :-) Here's the situation: I've got two workgroups, FLINTSTONE and RUBBLE which are on physically separate networks. FLINTSTONE has a Windows 2003 Active Directory domain

I'm trying to determine if the global configuration options for remote announce and remote browse sync work for browsing a different workgroup in a different subnet. In the books I have, it just talks about using these options to span the same workgroup across two subnets. In our situation, for example, I have two different workgroups (WG1 - 10.50.50.1 and WG2 - 10.100.50.1). Each of these

Hi, I connected a multi-homed Win95 machine (carrot, see below) to two networks (ankh-net and morpork-net) which a multi-homed Linux machine running Samba 1.9.18p10 (or whatever the latest <2 is) was also connected to (vimes) and wanted to see which of the two interfaces Win95 would pick... --------------------------------- ankh-net 134.225.241.0/24 | |

Hi, (I think I posted this a few weeks ago, but I haven't found the solution and had no replies.) I have a multi-homed server, one interface of which is on the same subnet as the majority of clients and the other is on a different one (but still reachable, through a router). When connecting to the server, it seems to be chance which one of these interfaces I get. I believe DNS servers

I want to discover all the groups currently in use on a subnet. Is there a way to do this with a broadcast request? I know that I could just run nmblookup on every single host on the subnet, but that would take forever. I'd like to just make one or maybe a few calls. I'd like to limit the number of calls I make to no more than one plus the number of workgroups that are in use. Any

The samba configuration on the local LAN works great but, I am trying to set up samba to permit browsing of two workgroups on different subnets and getting very close but not quite the results I want. Remote shares can be mapped to a local drive using "net use * \\remotehost\remoteshare" but in windows explorer the remote workgroup is not browsable : there is a "computer could not
