[Samba] Netbios over VPN

2012-07-07 Thread Andrew Mark
I am attempting to utilize BackupPC on a Fedora 14 server to backup a remote 
client.
As I understand, it's primary mechanism for finding clients is performing a 
nmblookup 
This works fine for computers connected to the local network.
My issue is extending ?Samba's? search to encompass our other network - the 
point-to-point VPNs
Using OpenVPN, we have a number of road warriors who connect their VPN to gain 
access to the samba server.
Each has a unique static IP address in the 10.30.251 range and when connected, 
I can find them but not samba
i.e.
#> ping john_laptop
--- john.inspirah.com ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2001ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 9.900/14.764/24.388/6.805 ms

#> nmblookup john_laptop
querying john_laptop on 127.255.255.255
querying john_laptop on 10.30.7.255
name_query failed to find name john_laptop

How to I configure Samba or whatever Linux service is necessary to query the 
10.30.251.255 network as well

[Samba] Building samba-4.0.0beta3 on Solaris 10 U9

2012-07-07 Thread Tom Crummey
Hello,

I'm trying to build samba 4.0.0beta3 on Solaris 10 U9, with the
following command:

./configure --prefix=/opt/samba

gmake

It gets to the following step:

[1144/3374] Compiling source4/ntvfs/posix/vfs_posix.c
../source4/ntvfs/posix/vfs_posix.c:29:24: error: tdb_compat.h: No such
file or directory
Waf: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/samba-4.0.0beta3/bin'
Build failed:  -> task failed (err #1):
{task: cc vfs_posix.c -> vfs_posix_5.o}
gmake: *** [all] Error 1

On looking in vfs_posix.c it seems that tdb_compat.h should perhaps be
lib/tdb_compat/tdb_compat.h?

or there's a -I flag missing somewhere...

Tom.

Just read

again with some more attention than first time. Read it
properly to the end. It's all in there.



Hi Volker, hi everyone.

I can see why
allow insecure wide links = Yes
is a problem.

I had no idea that windows clients could create symlinks.

We are looking into alternatives to 'everyone in the same homeDirectory' 
winbindd [homes] approach.


Cheers,
Steve
