I am seeing the following messages logged every 20 min on a Centos 5.5 Samba 3.5.7 (SerNet RPMs) PDC. wins server = yes is set and the 172.17.1.50 address is the address of the PDC. From a Windows client perspective the the domain is functioning as expected. There is a Samba BDC and mulitple Win2008 R2 member servers in the domain. Are they anything to be concerned about?

Hi everyone, new to the list. My apologies if this issue has already been covered, but I am having the following problem with Samba: Using Windows XP as a client, I am trying to see a Solaris system as a server. Solaris is running Samba 2.4.2, and Windows 2000 sees it as a server without any problems. Windows XP, however, generates the error "The network name is no longer

Hi, everybody: Forgive me for bringing this to you. We normally use Samba servers but are dealing with a situation involving two Windows 2003 servers and browsing, and the truth is, I can't think of a better forum to bring questions about browsing. We have the following situation: Domain controller is a Windows 2000 machine at 192.168.0.100 The backup domain controller is a Windows 2003

I am trying to use static wins entries, as stated in the Official Samba Howto Collection. One Samba server (VServer) is with wins service enabled. Another (Server1) is not, but it has the wins server in its smb.conf. When I set wins.dat at VServer: "SERVER1#00" 0 192.168.6.231 192.168.1.231 66R "SERVER1#03" 0 192.168.6.231 192.168.1.231 66R "SERVER1#20" 0

Exaclty! I don't see any samba server from browsing list but I can connect with netbios and ip. So, why I can't see any samba server from browser list? > But even if you

Hi, This is a question regarding WINS in Samba 4 I need to add a permanent record to the WINS database in Samba I'm using Samba 4.1.17+dfsg-2+deb8u1 in Debian 8 According to this document: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba3-HOWTO/tdb.html There are two files where the WINS records are stored: wins.dat which is re-created upon restart, and wins.tdb which is meant to be the

Is it possible to manually add entries to the WINS database on a Samba nmbd running as a WINS server? Alternativily could I get the WINS nmbd to use DNS for hostsnames it can't resolve using it's own database. I have several NT servers that seem to just vanish from the db after a while. One of my 2.2.3a boxes also did this for a pastime. Whilst I can do nbtstat -RR on NT or restart

Hi! I need to add static entries to my Samba 3.0.9 WINS server but I can't. Let's explain: The "Samba Collection Howto" chapter "Network Browsing" , section "Static WINS Entries" tells that I can edit my "wins.dat" file (/opt/samba/var/locks/wins.dat) to set the TTL of some entries to 0 . No matter if I edit the TTL of some existing entries

hello I've been reading the thread (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113286376900001&r=1&w=2) and I have the same limitation with WINS in a PDC/BDC. That's why I have the following (experimental) setup: PDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: master ldap BDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: slave ldap I configured some of my XP clients to use both WINS servers

Given a DC environment where very few (1-3) hosts actually need to be discovered via browsing is there a good way to limit what is browseable? I'm thinking of something like a read-only WINS - where WINS provides only those servers that need be contacted and doesn't allow client registrations. Such as a wins.dat that only contains the following: ========================================

Dear all, I am facing a peculiar situation: on my smb.conf log level = 5, and on my windows machine I log on as a local administrator to add remote desktop users that are in fact domain users. When my worgroup = SOMETHING, everything works fine.

Hi! We have the following scenario: Subnet 1 ======= Contains PDC for domain DOM1 all clients in this subnet belong to DOM1 Subnet 2 ======= contains PDC for domain DOM2 all clients in this subnet belong to DOM2 These two subnets are connected via a multihomed linux box set up as a router between these subnets. IP routing definately works ok. What we want to achive is, to have full NetBIOS

Hello Samba experts, Please read all email because i'm desperate!!!!! I have problem on joining to LAN-s using Samba.

Hello, Concerning my problem with not being able to connect to our domain with our Samba clients, there is a further piece of evidence in my samba.log, and I'm hoping that someone who is more experienced in dealing with WINS and domains can clarify the nature of these messages from the log: sync_with_dmb: Initiating sync with domain master browser PLEIADES<20> at IP

I'm trying to replace an old Windows 2000 server that is current set up with a number of open anonymous shares used by a legacy application that must remain in production for a few more years. I spent a few hours trying to create anonymous shares on a 2008 R2 box but gave up. My next idea was to use Samba to create an anonymous share, and following this quick-n-dirty HowTo:
