similar to: hosts allow and netbios names

There is no way to specify allowed hosts in smb.conf as hostname alias (from /etc/hosts file) or as netbios names (from lmhosts file). Is this normal behavior? If so, what is lmhosts file used for? Using configuration shown below, the only way to specify allowed hosts in smb.conf is with hosts FQDN. Thanks in advance for any help. Example: hosts allow = eclipse.lan # this is OK hosts allow =

Hallo, we have a clinical system that generate lot of files that once written are never changed. This file consume lot of disk and tape space*, so my idea was to compress this files. The problem is that it can happen, that the users have to open this files later. Is there a VFS module for samba that show gzipped** read only files as if they were standard files ?

Hello, is it possible to let samba update the DNS entries in our bind DNS server whenever a windows PC connects to the network ? Bye Andreas

Hi, I have set up our samba box in 'ADS' mode; the problem I have is clients connecting to the server can not do so by using its netbios name.

I need a pointer to what Fine Manual I should go read to set up my netbios name resolution, because all my attempts to use netbios names are being resolved against dns ... I have one subnet (192.168.2/24), with several Fedora 11 machines and several Windows XP machines, and a couple SMB/CIFS NAS units which also share printers. No domain, it's all just a workgroup. The WinXP machines

Hey geeks, I have been reading several faqs and howtos now and haven't come very far with what I really wanted to accomplish: I have installed samba from the RH 7.2 distro rpm. I have set it up so I can access my windows shares on the linux mashine. I can "ping athlon" (which is the netbios-name for the win2k mashine) I can "ping linux" (which is obviously my

So, how is to make possible to ping host at Ubuntu 14.04 by NetBios name which can be

Hello we did reinstall a server and we also reinstalled samba ( using the old smb.conf ) Now we have a strange behavior.

Ahh, many sleepless nights spent on a stinky Windows 98 box! I'm using Samba 2.2.0 with Red Hat Linux 7.1, and am having trouble resolving the samba server. I went through the "fault tree" in the "Using Samba" book, and this was the section I got stuck on. Do I need to be running a name server besides nmbd? nmblookup returns some results: ----------8<----------
