Greetings, I've been trying to use Samba in a virtual server configuration on one of my linux boxes and am running into trouble. My intention is to get a single samba server to act as 3 seperate servers (netbios names 'Audio', 'Video', 'Pictures') so that later they can be migrated to different machines with little effort.
In reading the docs, lists, and available books I've come to configure it in the following way: linux server /etc/samba/smb.conf: #Global parameters [global] workgroup = mshome netbios aliases = audio video pictures security = share server string = Samba Server log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 encrypt passwords = yes # disable printer and faxes disable spoolss = yes # include shares from actual NETBIOS name include = /etc/samba/%L.conf /etc/samba/video.conf: [Video] comment = Video browseable = yes path = /data/Video force user = nobody force group = nobody read only = No guest ok = Yes /etc/conf/audio.conf [Audio] comment = Audio browseable = yes path = /data/Audio force user = nobody force group = nobody read only = No guest ok = Yes /etc/conf/pictures.conf [Pictures] comment = Pictures browseable = yes path = /data/Pictures force user = nobody force group = nobody read only = No guest ok = Yes The trouble I'm having is that eventually each virtual server shows the shares from all the others. When I first startup samba on the server and connect to the servers 'audio', 'video', 'pictures' from a WinXP system all is well (each server only shows its single share). Then after a short period of time (minutes?) each of those servers shows all three shares (Audio, Video, Pictures). Any ideas what is going on or how I can fix this?
