similar to: lmhosts questions (answered?)

I have posted this question 3-4 weeks ago, but still get no response. In my environment, I have one Linux box running Samba 1.8.18p5, and there are about 20 Win95 clients which is in the same network. The porblem I usually encountered is when I click on the samba server icon in the NN icon, sometime I can get thru without any problem. However, there are also many times that I got error message

Has anyone had any luck with lmhosts. I'm trying to avoid using the -I 192.168.1.10 to identify a Win95 machine when using smbmount Is there an option I need to set in Samba to tell it to use /etc/lmhosts?

I need to use a samba server (linux redhat 6.0 ) from a diskless dos machine ( has a floppy drive for booting) . So i need a very little tcp-ip stack for dos and a client for a NT server on dos so that they will be small enough to be on a 1.44 system floppy. Is that possible ? Paul

I am trying to setup my Sun running samba 1.9.18p10 so that it can backup my dept's PCs. I can get it to work manually using the smbclient command with no problem. What I would like to do is have a script that is able to take a list of PCs, determine if a PC is online, backup that PC, then move on to the next one. If a PC is down, it can report an error to the admin to state that the

I am using samba-1.9.18p10 in a Redhat 5.1 Linux box. I have a short question, i.e. Is it true that once the nmbd is running and becoming the Master Browser, others win95 clients will not act as Master Browser anymore ?

I have found that Samba does not seem to handle the ^M EOL character very well. This seems to be a big problem with Windows Notepad and then in vi for UNIX. Other than the ux2dos and dos2ux commands does anyone know of another solution or if this has been fixed in a more current release of Samba? Thanks!

Hello Someone who has working lmhosts please tell me where it is (i.e., the path). I RTFMd man lmhosts and: 1) man hosts tells: SYNOPSIS: /etc/hosts. 2) man lmhosts doesn't tell anything about the path. 3) man lmhosts: "It is very similar to the /etc/hosts file format" - does it mean that the similarity is also in the placement of the file? 4) All config files are in

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:

I have nmbd set up to act as a WINS server. As far as I can tell from the docs, WINS should reply for queries that it can then lookup in the supplied lmhosts file. Unfortunately, it does not appear to do this; it only knows its own name when queried (and the domain name entry) but none of the entries that are in the lmhosts file. the debug output of nmbd doesn't reveal much (and doesnt even

I've just installed Samba on Solaris 2.6 and am getting the following lmhosts error: *********************** # cd /usr/local/samba/bin # ./smbclient -L myservername Added interface ip=209.249.20.87 bcast=209.249.20.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 startlmhosts: Can't open lmhosts file /usr/local/samba/lib/lmhosts.

Hi, I'm trying to connect to a share on a linux box from a win98 (or win2k) machine through an SSH tunnel. The documentation found on the subject says to setup an entry in LMHOSTS file in the form of: 127.0.0.1 sambaserver #pre checking the status of the cache with NBTSTAT -c after doing a NBTSTAT -R does not show the entry for "sambaserver" If I put any other

Hi All, Probably simple question: I want to make a share for sharing an lmhosts file which gets included by the clients. This share has to be very public and accept nullsessions (whatever that me be (no username and password?)). I want this because I need to generate aliases on the fly for for our fileserver for some clients (terminalservers specifically). So I thought that having an server

this may be a remedial question, but uh, what's /etc/lmhosts supposed to be? smbclient always complains that it doesn't exist... should it? thanks... -E
