hi, when i give samba a workgroup name with more than 15 characters [the limit for netbios names], nmbd is unable to participate in browse master elections. it appears that parts of internal samba code honor 16 characters and parts only honor 15. details: i used a workgroup name of nodomain.nowhere, 16 characters, on samba 2.2.1a. the samba box was the only member of this workgroup on the

Hi, first of all, my apologies for the very technical and long nature of this message...

I am a Samba newbie who has just set up a Samba server running under Fedora Core 3 and a client running under Win 98.

I am still having trouble with my Windoze2K machine resolving the NetBIOS name of my Samba server. It appears in the Network Neighborhood window but clicking on it gives the "Server not accessible, network path not found" On the server, nmblookup returns names of other machines, but not the server itself unless I use "nmblookup -B 192.0.0.199 lserver." Otherwise it says

Dear Samba gurus, I have a Fedora 8 linux server, running samba 3.0.28a-0.fc8. I am doing the simplest thing of all - exposing a public read-only share within MS Workgroup environment. My server has a fixed local IP address (192.168.1.200) and it's on the same subnet as the rest of the machines. The server and machines are connected to a 24 port CISCO switch. My problem is that I can

Hi :-) I am struggling through a RH 8.0 install on a machine we are looking to replace our Netware server. I got tapped to do this as I support the Graphics Deparment Mac OS ASIP server (running over 2 years now without a crash and no outage except for general maintenance). I am attempting to set up SAMBA to provide file sharing for our Windows clients (something not for the faint of heart,

I'm trying to get cross-network browsing/domain logins working. In brief, I am very frustrated. We thought the initial problem was a browsing problem, but now it does not appear to be that. Even once the workstation can see the servers, it STILL cannot perform a Domain login, although it CAN access resources if I use the Ms Dos prompt and issue a 'net use ...' command. This

Does anyone know how I can fix the following problem? Server running Solaris 5.7 with samba 2.0.7, as a client, installed does not show up in the Network Neighborhood's workgroup. Server's IP address was changed, samba 2.0.7 was added and now it does not work. You can get to the server by typing it in by hand \\<server-name> or <server-ip> but it does not appear in the

This seems to be common enough problem. I've used a variety of methods (command line as well as utilities like LinNeighborhood) to mount XP shares on my RedHat 8.0 running Samba 2.2.7. I get consistent problems the other way around. Despite a couple of shares on my Linux partition, I am just unable to do get to it. Network Neighborhood shows my Linux/Samba server but no shares, nor can I

I've been working on this for about a week now and can't seem to figure out the magic configuration that will make my Samba server work. I've gone through all the tests in DIAGNOSIS.txt. I'm running Sambe 2.2.6 on Redhat 8 and trying to get it to work on a home network with two Win XP machines. smbclient works both to the local Samba server and to any of the XP boxes.

Hello I have the following problem. I have a Windows network, when Samba starts it says in his logs that is local master browser for his workgroup. However when I do nmblookup -MT <Name of the workgroup> it returns two ip addresses, one of them is the address of the Samba Server, the other is the address of a Windows machine (could be Windows 2000 or XP). The thing is that the browse list

I've searched the Samba docs, man pages, Using Samba, and a few other places. I've been unable to find a way to retrieve the browse list (as in Network Neighborhood or net view on Win32) from Samba. I'm using a RH 6.2 box running Samba 2.0.7 in a multi-subnet workgroup (which is really a domain, but I don't have a machine trust account and I'm using security = server). Samba is

I am running Version 1.9.18p7 and I have a win95 machine and an NT machine connecting via ethernet. I have, for security reasons, reorganized my network to reduce outside threats. The network is set up using RFC1918 addressing, and I am using Linux 2.0.33 to transparent proxy outside requests to the net via a dialup PPP session with a dedicated IP address. The global section of my smb.conf
