The smbstatus utility won't show the names of the Linux machines running in this workgroup, but it does show the names of the WinXP machines.
It looks like this: $ smbstatus -b Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E.2 PID Username Group Machine ------------------------------------------------------------------- 23158 steve users 192.168.0.10 (192.168.0.10) 18040 nancy users venus (192.168.0.3) 3001 nancy users mars (192.168.0.5) 2894 steve users 192.168.0.2 (192.168.0.2) The browse.dat file correctly shows the names and IP address of all machines in the workgroup, so obviously the names of the Linux machines are obtainable. The server is running Samba v3.0.10 on a CentOS machine. The Linux clients are running Samba 3.0.14a on Fedora Core 4 machines The Linux clients are running a minimal smb.conf, just enough (in theory) to provide a NetBIOS name for lookup by the server. This is the entire config file: [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Software Development max log size = 0 security = user So what am I missing to get the smbstatus util to reflect the names of my Linux machines?
