similar to: domain master list - cross subnet?

Hi all! This is a repost to this list, hoping to draw some extra attention because I got NO reply whatsoever to the original posting :( I would really appreciate if someone could comment om which of both strategies as described below is best. I am having some trouble with a samba domain distributed over 2 subnets (192.168.0.0/23 (supernetted) & 192.168.4.0/24). These subnets are

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

It seems to be working for us now. I have the following relevant settings in the [global] section of smb.conf ... remote announce = 199.170.245.255/ENGINEER 199.170.224.255/ENGINEER 199.170.232.255/ENGINEER workgroup = ENGINEER wins support = no wins server = 199.170.224.6 domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes ; os level = 0 don't want Samba to

Has anyone on this list been able to configure samba in such a way so that it will authenticate to windows 2K acitve directory. What I want to do is this: install samba 2.2.7 onto a Redhat linux 7.3 system, then configure samba (I think using something called smb_pam) so that it will join the windows active directory domain. Is such a thing possible? Has anyone here done it? I can't find

I have two sites, which are seperated by a campus network. Even with the new 'browse fix' release, I cannot convice the win 3.11 machines to do a domain login to the server in the other subnet. A single win95 machine in the subnet does every thing fine, domain login, network neighbourhood, the works. The win 3.11 machines can browse for shares on the remote server and connect fine - they

But the win wks on the other subnet is configured to use my SAMBASERVER as its WINS SERVER, and it is configured using the IP Adress of the SAMBASERVER and not the name. Shouldn't this do the trick? win wks is on a wireless subnet and hence runs at 11 MBPS, while the SAMBASERVER is on a wired subnet. I read somewhere that windows does some kind of "optimization" with slow networks.

I'm trying to set up cross-subnet browsing using Samba on a Linux box and a Sparc UltraEnterprise with Win95 and NT Workstation clients. I'm using the Sparc as the domain master and also as the WINS server on the 108 subnet. The Linux box is the local master on the 46 subnet. Both are running Samba 1.9.17alpha4. I can see the conversation between the two samba servers and the browse

I have 2 subnets. Subnet 1 has an NT WINS server. Subnet 2 has a Samba server acting as domain master browser and local master browser for a workgroup. If I view the network neighborhood from a Win 95 PC on Subnet 1 (call it PC_A), I can see all the hosts in the workgroup on both subnets. If I view the network neighborhood from a Win 95 PC on Subnet 2 (call it PC_B), I cannot see PC_A. I

I am one hurdle away from finishing my test PDC with ldap and password sync. Its been a hair raising effort... and if I can solve this one issue, we'll be ready to kick our Windows PDC out the window. When I attempt to initially join the domain ( LOGOS ) from a win2K client residing on a different subnet, I get the following: -------- The following error occured validating the name

The samba configuration on the local LAN works great but, I am trying to set up samba to permit browsing of two workgroups on different subnets and getting very close but not quite the results I want. Remote shares can be mapped to a local drive using "net use * \\remotehost\remoteshare" but in windows explorer the remote workgroup is not browsable : there is a "computer could not

We have a network with Windows NT/2000, SGI's, Linux, Macintosh, AIX. Our user account/passwords for all our machines is handled by NIS on an AIX machine. Our unix machines autheticate through NIS. Our windows machines authenticate by loging on to an NT server acting as the PDC, and that PDC has a service installed on it called "WinDD NIS" (made by Tektronix I think) which contacts

Hi all, I've had cross-subnet browsing working in Samba in the past, though I tend to struggle with it each time I set it up. For whatever reason, I can't seem to get things working this time. Summary: Only my desktop, not the file server, shows up in the desktop's Network Neighborhood. (I have left the machines running for several hours, in case there's a time-to-sync issue

What about your openvpn config? The tun net must have an entry in your hosts allow. If you work with briding the remote network has to be the same subnet as the local!? Bridging is the best way to have a remote net integrated. I have one logging in form Berlin on my Samba-Domain.

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

Hello, I am in the process of trying to get a large network (300+ systems) spanning 3 subnets to be able to display all windows machines in the Network Neighborhood. After reading through copious amounts of documentation, using Samba as a domain controller and then having systems on each subnet seemed to be the best approach. I set one of the machines to be the domain controller for what was my

I have been having a heck of a time getting cross subnet browsing to work properly. After MANY hours hunting through source and debug logs, I have FINALLY found the source of my browsing issues. My Samba nmdb properly becomes the LMB for my segment on a WAN. I VPN to my servers at the home office and Samba attempts to sync with the DMB. nmbd properly locates the DMB via WINS over the

I have a problem browsing in my subnets let me explain me situation: I have a m0n0wall (FreeBSD based router software) with 3 nics. nic1:My WAN connection Nic2:My LAN connection (192.168.0.0/24 m0n0 is DHCP) Nic3:My Wifi connenciot (192.168.1.0/24 m0n0 is DHCP) just using ip-adresses acrossed the network is no problem. now i want to use windows browsing works on LAN but can't see the

Greetings all! I just got a colocated server space and the ISP has given me an IP address and a routable /29 subnet. Here''s a partial snippet of the info they gave me (with the real addressess changed for privacy) ==== WAN Address Customer IP Address : 100.0.33.14 Netmask : 255.255.255.248 Broadcast Address : 100.0.33.15 Default Gateway :

ive got several hundred user accounts in NIS that i need to get into the smbpasswd file. since samba doesn't actually use NIS, but can only be in sync with it, what is the best way to get all these passwords into smbpaswd? I'd hate to have to have all users re-enter their passwords... anyone done this before? thanks in advance, alex ---
