Hi there,

I have a samba server (version 3.6) named 'lnbxservcid' which is already a member of a domain whose PDC is another samba server (version 3.4). I'm using the standard samba3 packages from centos and from servnet (as CentOS.4 comes with only samba 3.0.x, but later CentOS releases came with samba3-3.4.x packages).

I wish to create on the lnxservcid machine another samba server (a virtual server) so I don't need to change login scripts and windows client UNC paths that point to a server which will be retired. The idea is each virtual server will show it's own set of shares.

I tryed a test setup following instructions from:

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/cfgsmarts.html

On restart, domain member clients (windows machines) can connect to lnxservcid normally. But trying to connect to lnxservteste shows a login prompt, and no domain user works.

It looks like I have to add machine lnxservteste to the domain. But neither "net join" or "smbpasswd" have options to tell the name of the machine (virtual server) to join, and lnxservcid is already joined.

Any idea?

I changed lnxservcid /etc/samba/smb.conf adding "netbios aliases", "smb ports" and "include" statements:

[global]
    netbios name = lnxservcid
    security = domain
    netbios aliases = lnxservteste
    smb ports = 139
    include = /etc/samba/smb-%L.conf

[work]
    path=/mnt/work

And then I created /etc/samba/smb-lnxservteste.conf

[global]
  workgroup = IBP
  netbios name = lnxservteste

[teste]
  path = /mnt/teste


Should I point net join or smbpasswd to smb-lnxservteste.conf file? Or should I change the local hostname to tool those utilites? Or isn't this setup supposed to work? No "samba virtual server" tutorial I found on google told about domain membership. :-(

And by the way, will the need to use "smb ports = 139" prevent Windows 7 clients from using my servers? So far I tried with only Windows XP clients.
