similar to: nmbd as WINS & lmhosts

Dear all, I'm setting up a wins server configuration with Samba 3.0.24 ### interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.0/24 bind interfaces only = Yes name resolve order = lmhosts host bcast preferred master = Yes dns proxy = No wins support = Yes ### Before setting dhcp to instruct the clients to use this wins server, I'm trying to make certain it's working correctly. The command:

Hello, In my smb.conf (or actually, in "committees.conf" included from smb.conf, a defined share does not show up in the browselist, nor any other share defined AFTER that particular one (either in that file or in smb.conf after the include statement). The shares are accessable though (when mapped to a drive letter or used as UNC). Ofcourse I tried to look for odd

Is there anyone who has (successfully) implemented 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?

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

When I build an smb.conf using a line like: include = /usr/local/samba/lib/%G.conf then it works beautifully for the shares that are listed in the appropriate <primary group>.conf files, that is, I can connect to them and all... However, I can only _browse_ the shares listed in the main smb.conf file, not the ones in the <primary group>.conf files that should be included, even

The issue of disconnected networkshares (shares offered on an NT server) has appeared on this mailinglist a few times. It is not a samba issue, but it seems many here might benefit from the information given below anyways, as I've never seen a solution to the problem come by. Problem: Whenever there has not been any activity (file/network IO) to or from a networkshare that is offered by an

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

Hello, I've found this issue reported only once before but no real answer was provided/found. I am trying to migrate from an old 2.0.7 server, but the bundled install 3.0.24 on FC6 is giving me major pain. Putting aside the actual configuration and user migration which I need to figure out, the problem is that nmbd refuses to start with the following errors in the log: [2007/02/26 14:05:26,

Hi, we had upgraded our SAMBA PDC from 3.0.14 to 3.0.22 on a Gentoo system. Now we have problems with peculiar spwaning of too many "nmbd" processes. In smb.conf WINS support is activated, so I would expect two nmb processes. But as you can see in the process list, during SAMBA is running after some minutes another nmbd child is spawned. I tracked down the problem to one example: We

Hi, I get constantly every some secondes this entry in log.nmd [2005/06/30 15:11:22, 4] nmbd/nmbd_workgroupdb.c:dump_workgroups(284) dump_workgroups() dump workgroup on subnet 192.168.53.180: netmask= 255.255.255.0: TOPTEST(1) current master browser = AADMT00 AADMT00 400c9b0b (Backoffice Testsystem PDC) [2005/06/30 15:11:22, 4]

Hi there, I have found a problem with my Samba server 3.0.28. This problem appeared suddenly without any changes in configuration or server update. NMBD becomes unresponsive in some minutes after startup with these options enabled: name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts wins server = 172.25.8.86 172.25.8.84 Unresponsive means that it is not possible to connect to server, nmbd eats full

Hi guys, I realy need your help. It looks like SMBD doesn't want to talk with NMBD, but why? When I run the command: nmblookup torpc8 The result is: querying torpc8 on 10.5.255.255 Got a positive name query response from 10.5.2.27 ( 10.5.2.27 ) 10.5.2.27 torpc8<00> That is correct. When I run the command: smbclient -NL torpc8 The result is: resolve_wins: Attempting wins lookup for

Hello together! I have an problem with the wins server, based on a Gentoo distribution with Samba 3.0.24. The problem is following: After an restart of samba everything works fine, but after an undefined time period its not possible to make an nmblookup for some other computers. The samba server is also configured as wins server. an cut from the smb.conf: ...... domain master = Yes

Dear samba users, I'm trying to add static entries to a samba WINS server (samba-1.9.18p8-51.2). Therefore I have a file /etc/samba/lmhosts: -------------------------------------------- klimt.iwr KLIMT klee KLEE -------------------------------------------- and start nmb with: /usr/sbin/nmbd -d 3 -H /etc/samba/lmhosts The problem now is: Only if "wins proxy=yes"

Hello, with samba-3.0.x an "smbcontrol smbd ping" was answered by all running smbd processes. With samba-3.2.x it is now *also* answered by nmbd and winbindd: [root@cs00 ~]# smbcontrol -V Version 3.2.5 [root@cs00 ~]# for i in `smbcontrol -t 1 winbindd ping | grep PONG | awk '{ print $4}'` ; do pstree -p | grep $i ; done winbindd(29908) - winbindd(29909) [root@cs00 ~]#

Helo , System : redhat 8 DS: netcape 4.16 Samba version : RC1. I am upgrading from samba3b3.

Hi, Problem: When our network has any glitches causing a network time-out for more than a few minutes, our samba servers lose their connectivity with our WINS server even after the network is restored. This causes the WINS server to tombstone the name registration for the samba server(s), thereby causing clients to not connect through the browser. SMB connections are not affected so the

My client Windows XP boxes are failing to register with my WINS server (running nmbd from Samba). I'm puzzled how to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Background: I'm setting up BackupPC to back up my Windows clients using rsync. I've installed cwRsync to the clients. BackupPC uses nmblookup to find the client's IP address given its Windows NETBIOS name. I'm

Folks, I am stumped! I have followed every tech tip I could find and I am still unable to complete my SMB installation. Specifically, I fail Test 4 and Tests 9 and 10. I believe the problem has something to do with the NMBD configuration. Below are the parameters of our system. Any help is greatly appreciated.
