I normally put an "interfaces = 192.168.0.0/24" line in /etc/samba/smb.conf.

But since then I've upgraded to the 2.2.5-1 SRPM and now I'm getting the [2002/07/12 15:16:05, 0] nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:create_subnets(239) create_subnets: No local interfaces ! [2002/07/12 15:16:05, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(872) ERROR: Failed when creating subnet lists. Exiting. errors in my nmbd.log, and nmbd promptly dies. From the linuxvm.org samba netmask howto link, it talks about modifying the ifup-ctc script to use a netmask of 255.255.255.255 for ifconfig and 255.255.255.0 for route add. I've also seen references on this list to faking out samba in the smb.conf by specifying the netmask there... maybe by using the interfaces option? Which is the prefered method, and what is the appropriate entry in the smb.conf? Thanks, Daniel
