smb.conf [global] smb ports = 139 It turned out that the old smbd daemons weren't properly killed when I first tested this option... "#Killall -9 smbd;service smb start" did the trick. NB! Do not play with this option when you got users logged on, as the clients are still talking to port 445. So it was not the client not finding the alias server, but rather %L not substituting correctly. >From the smb.conf manual page: %L the NetBIOS name of the server. This allows you to change your config based on what the client calls you. Your server can have a "dual personality". This parameter is not available when Samba listens on port 445, as clients no longer send this information.
