Hello, I've been trying to get a solution (or at least an explanation) from the FreeBSD guys at freebsd-questions lists, but I guess no one knew the answer.
I am trying to run Samba 3 (latest) in a FreeBSD 7.0 jail (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeBSD_Jail). It seems I cannot convince Samba to answer NetBIOS broadcast requests and therefore Windows machines cannot browse it directly by name (\\machine). I know I can set up DNS and/or WINS to achieve what I want, but I would like to understand why I can't simply use NetBIOS broadcasts. If I put Samba (the same configuration) out of FreeBSD jail, everything works nicely. If I put it back into the jail, it just doesn't respond - the nmbd is running, though; sockstat output follows: root smbd 1436 18 tcp4 192.168.15.201:445 *:* root smbd 1436 19 tcp4 192.168.15.201:139 *:* root nmbd 1430 6 udp4 192.168.15.201:137 *:* root nmbd 1430 7 udp4 192.168.15.201:138 *:* root nmbd 1430 8 udp4 192.168.15.201:137 *:* root nmbd 1430 9 udp4 192.168.15.201:138 *:* root nmbd 1430 12 dgram -> /var/run/logpriv So it listens at the correct IP address (of the jail). Any ideas how to debug this? How to find out why Samba doesn't respond to NetBIOS broadcast requests when running in jail?
