hello
we have a samba server on centos 5.2 and 2 different lans. so we gave the
server to ips eth0:172.16.93.217 and eth1: 192.168.89.3
but after this when we tried to join clients (windows xp) to the domain the
error: "the specified domain either does not exist or could not be
contacted." what is the solution?
I had the same problem with Samba 3.0.24 - Debian Etch package. On PDC
server with 5 interfaces (VLAN) when I tried to join clients to domain,
sometimes I got several strange errors. Sometimes that errors came on at
logon...
From tcpdump output I found a problem that Samba server sometimes send
browse-reply UDP packets with source IP address of other interface than
the outgoing interface. So the client can't locate PDC address.
This solution perfectly works for me:
smb.conf - global section:
interfaces = 192.168.1.0/24 lo
socket address = 192.168.1.5
where the 192.168.1.5/24 is address of one local interface. Be ware that
now Samba can be reached only on this 1 address.
On the clients is required to set the LMHOSTS file, so client knows
selected IP of PDC. I'm using this batch:
echo 192.168.1.5 PDCNAME #PRE #DOM:DOMNAME >
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts
REM keep length = 16 chars including the \0x1b
echo 192.168.1.5 "DOMNAME \0x1b" #PRE >>
%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts
REM reload config
nbtstat -R
Maybe this issue is solved in some newer Samba version.
