We have two systems with dual NICs that run samba 2.2.5 with winbind, and
neither of them is announcing the system's primary IP address correctly to
the WINS server. The systems show up in the wins database with the
secondary IP address (which is the private network we use for the
heartbeat/meta data on our CXFS cluster). We worked around it by entering
the correct IP addresses for these systems as static IP entries in the WINS
server's database, but it would be nice to know how we could get those
systems to automatically announce themselves correctly.
The nsswitch.conf file for these machines uses files first (local host
table) then dns
The primary IP addresses for these systems is in the local host table as are
the hostnames for the 2nd NICs (i.e. samiam .vs. private-samiam)
I think the samba "name resolve order" setting of "host wins bcast" means
that I use the UNIX nameservice lookup first (as defined by nsswitch.conf),
then ask the wins server, then broadcast for the information. I've told
samba who the wins server is, but I don't have a "remote announce"
parameter. Is this what I'm missing or do I need to make my "netbios name =
SAMIAM" be lower case (or is there something else I need to do to get these
systems to announce themselves correctly to the WINS server?)
Thanks,
Karen Wieprecht
