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

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hello! Probably a stupid question, but... Is it possible to run Samba (2.0.0beta5 or any other version) in 2 completely independent identities on a single machine with 2 virtual ip interfaces? As I understand it you can not run 2 nmbd's, because broadcast packets are only delivered to one of the 2 udp sockets bound to 0.0.0.0:137. If I use the 'netbios

I'm connecting to 1.9.18p8 on Linux 2.0.33 from an NT 4.0 workstation. I connect to the share with username phl and unencrypted passwords. In smb.conf, "force group=httpd" for the share called "sites." Smbstatus correctly reports: [root@www /sites]# smbstatus Samba version 1.9.18p8 Service uid gid pid machine

Hi, Eric. You asked: > Does the full version of Front Page request locks? If so, maybe I need > to purchase it or another html editor that does. It doesn't use SMB file transactions at all.

Hello Everyone, I have installed samba-1.9.17p4 on a linux 2.0.29 box, but the server work correctly only as a client. Testparm runs ok, but when i try to list the shares available on my server, this is the output: Added interface ip = 195.32.68.131 bcast = 195.32.68.191 nmask = 255.255.255.192 Session request failed (0,0) with myname = DNS2 destname = DNS2 Unspecified error 0x0 Your server

Hi, I was wondering how a linux box configured as a firewall stacked up against some of the commercial products like checkpoint-1 and gauntlet. Can someone direct me to a good book or online doc that compares linux to some other firewall methods? Mind you, I''m not talking about a firewall in the classical sense, ie ip forwarding turned off and used as a proxy, but the typical Linux box

Hi, i have a annoying problem that drives me crazy. We have set up a Digital/Unix box with samba and the clients (W95) can mount the shares from this box. On the Unix side we create a textfile which will be periodically (or not) appended with new data. A Application on the W95 side reads this file. The Problem is, that the textfile has new lines, the Application don't see them !!! To

I am using Samba-PDC-LDAP with samba-3.0.20b-1. On my file servers I am using samba-3.0.10-1.4. I'm not sure exactly what is happening but every couple of weeks the file servers disappear form network neighborhood. I checked browstat on my Windows system and it points to my PDC as the master browser and I checked the wins.dat file on my PDC and the systems were there. I did not check

I just downloaded samba-1.9.18p3.tar.gz and compiled it on a DEC 3000/300 running OSF/1 v3.0 (uname -mrsv gives: "OSF1 V3.0 347 alpha") using the built-in cc compiler.

Hello, I'm about to install SAMBA in a HA (High Avalibility) solution with Solaris 2.6 and First Watch. I have two SAMBA servers that normally runs on two machines, in case of a failure of one of the machine the other machine is supposed to take over the failed machine's services. Also the IP adress is moved (the machine will now have multiple IP adresses (on the same logical net)). So

Hi all, I'm using Samba 1.9.18p8 under Solaris 2.5.1.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hi everyone - Someone I''m working with has a requirement to map ethernet card addresses to unique IP addresses, and then have a Linux IP masquerade server know of this mapping list and not allow any data to pass from any ethernet card that a) it doesn''t know about, or b) isn''t assigned the right IP.

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
