Hi to all. I have an unusual problem on a Linux box: sometimes the box is invisible to the Windows clients, I have to restart the service to restore proper operations.
I think to have traced down the problem. During bootstrap, eventually Samba initialize itself when the iptables firewall is not yet completely initialized. During a little time the firewall is rejecting broadcast requests. I find this in the log.nmbd: Packet send failed to 192.168.1.255(137) ERRNO=Operation not permitted .... Added server name entry SAMBABOX on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET After that Samba is isolated from the LAN, I have to restart Samba to fix it. Is there a way to force Samba to know that the interface is broadcast capable? Is there a way to "reload" Samba to do the probe again? I'm using samba 2.2.3a on Debian Woody. Thanks very much. -- Niccolo Rigacci http://www.texnet.it/ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
