similar to: Using samba without NetBIOS

Hi, i'm reading: samba-3.0.20a/docs/htmldocs/Samba3-HOWTO/NetworkBrowsing.html#id2564441 ... The election process is /fought out, so to speak/ over every NetBIOS network interface. In the case of a Windows 9x/Me machine that has both TCP/IP and IPX installed and has NetBIOS enabled over both protocols, the election will be decided over both protocols. As often happens, if the Windows 9x/Me

Hi, On samba 3 winserver enabled On xp I can work with smb on 2 ways 1 ) smb over tcpip without netbios. I was suprised because I can logged onto the domain. Xp client found the primary domain controler. I am not able to add permissions ( only the local machine domain is visible ). How xp client found the DC ( cache DC name on the client , wins answer on port 445 ?) 2 ) smb over netbios.

Hi everyone, I rely on about 8 NetBIOS aliases on my samba filer. I have been using security = server, but I have been running to some strange issues where if a user just logs off and then back on, they are denied access to shares. If they reboot, they can then get back in ok. I've set debugging up, and it appears that samba does not recognize the user after a logoff/logon, and uses nobody as

>From Microsoft web site (Windows 2000 Resource Kit): "Windows 2000 uses NetBIOS over TCP/IP to communicate with prior versions of Windows NT and other clients, such as Windows 95. However, the Windows 2000 redirector and server components now support direct hosting for communicating with other computers running Windows 2000. With direct hosting, NetBIOS is not used for name resolution.

Hi all!! I'd set up my samba 2.2.7 to auth with "security=domain" mode, but my clients cannot auth successfully never because the samba server cannot "talk" correctly with my PDC(w2k adv. Server). In the computer manager event, I see authentication request but with empty usernames......so the PDC reject the authentication request. Is this a know

Hi ! Is There how I use an alias for a Samba Server ? I tried with dns alias and don't work ! i.e. Name' Samba Server is PARATY, and I'd like that the workstations could communicate with this Samba Server, but using the name SambaPDC. Is it possible ?

I have installed a new Win 2003 Applicationserver in a Network with Samba 2.2.1a as PDC. Some clients are not able connect to the Server by entering "\\s-003" into Explorer. When i sniff the Network i can see that NetBIOS Name Resolution doesn't work properly. They get as a response to a name querry to the PDC a wrong Ip-Address back!! Does anybody know how this can happen and

When I set: wins support = yes time server = yes my wins service stops working and no computers show up in the network neighborhood..as soon as I change time server = no, they start to re-populate. I have looked around and havent found a definitive answer (apologies if I overlooked it)... but if someone could tell me if this is a documented issue, or just me that woudl be great Thanks

Hello ! I have a database server running in a RH9 machine with two networks interfaces, but the second interface (10.0.1.1) does only clustering with another server, i have a PDC and WINS Server resident on a Win2000 machine. I had have troubles on find my linux machine in a network neighborhood from a Win machine. So i verified the linux machine registration in WINS server and i could see the

Hi everyone, I know that there are issues with NetBIOS across subnets, but I was wondering: Q: If I run nmbd on a multi-interface Linux router, and allow it to listen on all interfaces, and pointing all clients to their respective router interface, can it effectively serve WINS to all subnets such that everyone can browse everyone? Thanks, -- Christopher Barry Manager of Information Systems

Hello, Is there *any* way to reliablily determine the NetBIOS name of a computer when you only know their IP address? I know it is very easy to find the IP address from the NetBIOS name, but I can't seem to find any way of getting a NetBIOS name from an IP.. James deBoer (jdeboer@scsinternet.com)

Hi, ive read a lot in the howto about netbios/ddns, but im still confused if its possible for samba to only use tcp/ip without netbios. are there any howtos for this topic that are not mentioned in the samba3 howto? Greets Julius

Ok, here's my setup: I've had a samba file server going for about a year now. It's Samba v2.05a on a RH6.0 sys. Currently we have a printer server running on a Winblows NT box. This NT box has the following printers: HP5si, (4) HP4000, and a few HP4s. All of those printers have Jet Direct ports on them. What I want to do is, move all the printers over to the Samba box and KILL the NT

I am looking for experience with migrating from Novell to Linux.I have Novell 4.2 - file and print server. I am looking for tools to migrate Novell users (and if possible printers) to Samba. Thanks and regards Max . 972-3-9188325

hi, I need a hand setting up cross subnet browsing. Does anyone have some good news group postings, or a HOWTO? I have 2 samba servers, and 2 subnets. Each servers sits on it's own domain/workgroup. I think this should be much simpler than it is, and perhaps I am just missing one or two settings. Of the 2 servers: A, B I would like 'A' to do any serving or hold any

mksmbpasswd.sh does not create accounts with the X flag in the password flags field. Does this X matter, and if so, what does it mean?

Hi folks, is anybody using those two products together and can give me any advice on how to do this? My specific issue has been addressed in other posts before, but as nobody responded, it would just now be interesting if anybody at least uses those applications together successfully? greets Malte

I have posted this question twice without any response. We are running samba on an OpenUnix 8 machine, then we are mapping the samba share on a Windows 2000 machine. If we run our process from the Windows command line..(copying files to the share) everything runs great. The problem is if someone telnets to the Windows 2000 machine and runs the same process they get "The specific network

Hi, I'd like to hear off-list from anyone who is currently successfully using folder redirection with an NT4 domain controller. If you are doing this, please would help me to understand your secret. There are two ways I know of that should work, however I have received feedback from separate sources that claim problems with both of these methods. I would like to include in the new book
