similar to: Domain master browser for multiple domains?

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

Hi, I'm trying to set up browsing across subnets to provide an 'enterprise'-wide (sorry for the MS term ;-) browse list / Network Neighbourhood. I've read BROWSING.TXT, but I can't see how machines on different subnets in different domains/workgroups sync up (using Samba, anyway). On my local subnet, I've set up a clunky old Linux 386 (Samba 1.9.18p8) as the browse

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 can force a browser election with the Win98 command: net view /workgroup:workgroupname However, that does not work on NT (and I haven't tried it on W95). What I'd really like is a command from the Linux command line to force the election. I've looked everywhere and can't find it. For my purposes having preferred master=yes and restarting Samba is not an option. Does anyone

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

We are running samba 1.9.16p11, and seem to be doing just fine. Last Month, our IT dept informed us that our machine was attempting to be a master browser, which the NT Wins server was not happy about. Below is my global config options. When I killed/restarted the samba daemons (running as daemons and not via inetd) the problem seem to vanish. Feeling this was a fluke, it was dismissed.

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 - I'm having some problems with network browsing using a Samba PDC (3.0.22) and I'd appreciate any hints that might push me in the right direction. One of the problems is that I am on a very crowded subnet that is being used by several different groups. There are a two separate WinNT/2000-style domains active on this network as well as an AD domain controller. Here are the

Hey all, Does anyone know of an existing project that acts as a file broswer for files/directories on the server. I need to implement something for my students to be able to access their unix home drives on our server via the web. It doesn''t sound that hard to do the actual file listing and accessing in ruby. Authenticating the users could be tricky (PAM?). It could be done, but

The Samba set up we're using to support 25 or so Win 95 clients is working well, but my users are usually not up to complicated tasks. Has anyone found a way to get logging out down to a single action (like, Start/Logout), instead of Start/Shutdown/Close all programs and log in as another user/Yes? I'm tired of explaining this already! :) Daryl Daryl Biberdorf darylb@superserve.com

Hi, I have 3 Samba servers run Samba 2.0.7 on RH6.2, with Kernel 2.2.16-3. Everything seems to be OK, except that my Win9x clients cannot see other Win9x clients across the subnets. Each server has 2 n/w cards installed, with IP Forwading enabled etc. If the user knows the machine name, he can get access to the shared resources across all 3 subnets, but using the n/w neighbourhood browser, shows

Mystery solved! Multiple responses pointed out that if the master browser didn't respond within the 12 minutes, that a new election would be forced, and chances are that our unix system beat out the NT. (awww). The question of why our system (SAMBA) even participated in the election I still don't know, unless the default really isn't 0 for os level (at least for our version). The

I have a little problem. I realize this may not be the right place to ask this, but I'll bet luke or someone else here knows the answer :-> I'm not the site network administrator, and she's not willing/able to figure out the changes necessary to fix a small problem that cropped up this week: For months my department's PCs have been booting and configuring themselves from the

Is there a standard way of programmatically firing an event on an element? I think this code works in IE but not FF: myElement.fireEvent(''onclick''); I really only care about IE and FF, but anything else is a bonus. I didn''t see anything in prototype/scriptaculous for this, but I might have missed it. Thanks. Joe Athman

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 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 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...

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
