Package: samba
Version: 3.0.20b-4
Severity: normal


Where there are multiple IPv4 addresses with different netmask on a
given interface, nmbd miscomputes the broadcast address to which it
should send its Netbios messages over UDP for local networking.

One typical case is when zeroconf is enabled while you are also on a
real network, e.g. :

# ip -4 address list dev eth0
3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
    inet 169.254.45.174/16 scope link eth0
    inet 192.168.1.200/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global eth0

In that case, nmbd sends broadcast to 192.168.255.255 instead of
192.168.1.255, and hence fails to contact the other hosts on the local
subnet.

As I wrote on Aug. 11th, I see nothing to do here but closing the bug.
