All, 1. Here is my network configuration:
One NT4 PDC One NT4 BDC Two Sun boxes, both configured as Domain Member servers running Samba version 3.0.10 providing file and print sharing. Three Windows 2000 boxes configured as Citrix servers Two Sun boxes configured as Sun Ray servers (used in conjunction with the Citrix servers) One UNIX box used as a DNS Master Server One UNIX box used as a DNS Slave Server One UNIX box used as an LDAP server Several Mac OS 9 workstations Several Mac OS X workstations Several Sun workstations Note: At the moment there is no synchronization between the PDC/BDC and the LDAP server. All syncronization (passwords, users, groups, etc are done manually). 2. Problem: My Windows 2000 clients can see and use all samba services provided by both servers. However, there appears to be NetBIOS resolution problems at the PDC and BDC. When running smbclient L samba server on both samba servers, shares are listed. However, in the work group portion of the report I get the following result: Session request to SAMBA_SERVER failed (Called name not present) Session request to *SMBSERVER failed (Called name not present) NetBIOS over TCP disabled workgroup unavailable. The only reason I noticed this problem is that Mac OS X clients under development could not connect to the samba shares. However, Samba, as is, is satisfying my user base with no problems. 3. Troubleshooting Both Samba servers passed ping tests. To themselves, to the PDC and BDC, and from the PDC and BDC to the Samba servers. No firewalls are in use. Ran testparm against the smb.conf file. Passed. Verified that the smbd and nmbd daemons were running on both Samba servers. Ran nmblookup B samba_server on both servers. Passed. Ran nmblookup B domain_controller * on both the PDC and BDC. Passed. >From both Samba servers ran nmblookup d 2 *. Passed. On both Samba servers, ran the smbclient test listed in the above problem section with the noted results. >From both the PDC and BDC, ran the net view command without any arguments. >Both Samba servers were listed. >From both the PDC and BDC ran net view \\samba _server and got the following >error: System error 53 has occurred The network path was not found Finally, I ran the smbclient and nmblookup tests on both Samba servers with a debugging level of 4. The tests produced the following fatal error: Error loading module /usr/local/smaba/charset/ ..so. The modules each server was attempting to load were not in the /usr/local/samba/charset directory. 4. Questions Is this a hostname resolution problem? Are the missing charset modules causing my problem? Will a recompilation fix the problem, or will I have to do a complete de-installation? Is there a work-around? ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
