Thanks for your input John, if I use this interfaces = interface_name then it listens on all IP addresses on that interface and there are many. It causes confusion to users so I wanted to restrict the IP address that samba listens to 172.16.2.0. Actually it works as a file server well with this configuraion and people can access all the shares. thanks --Siju -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
