Hello, On RedHat 9 with samba-2.2.7a-7.9.0, I am connecting to a windows network through a cisco VPN connection.
When the vpn is established, I can make smb calls (for example, I can browse network objects using gnome-nautilus)... and I can explicitly resolve names; for example: wbinfo -N dheld3 (works) nmblookup dheld3 (works) however, a more general lookup fails ping dheld3 (does not work!) I made an addition to smb.conf based on a note I read in the winbindd man page: > # by doug; suggested by 'man winbindd' > winbind separator = + > winbind cache time = 10 > template shell = /bin/bash > template homedir = /home/%D/%U > winbind uid = 10000-20000 > winbind gid = 10000-20000 > ;security = domain > ;password server = * > > > # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name > workgroup = NEUROMEDIA > > # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field > server string = Doug's RedHat9 Samba Client > also, I set up the WINS section to query the remote network's server: > # Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section: > # WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable it's WINS Server > ; wins support = yes > > # added by doug > name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast > > # WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client > # Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both > wins server = 10.0.0.191 > > # WINS Proxy - Tells Samba to answer name resolution queries on > # behalf of a non WINS capable client, for this to work there must be > # at least one WINS Server on the network. The default is NO. > wins proxy = yes > > # DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names > # via DNS nslookups. The built-in default for versions 1.9.17 is yes, > # this has been changed in version 1.9.18 to no. > dns proxy = yes > (I know I don't need the DNS proxy part, but I threw that in anyway) Next, I changed /etc/nsswitch.conf like this: > #hosts: db files nisplus nis dns > hosts: files dns winbind ... and restarted the smb and winbind services. I thought I should be done by now, but it doesn't work.
