[Samba] Samba Wins Problem
Hi All I have installed Samba 3 under RHEL v4, with LDAP support for the authentication and as a PDC Domain, it seems everything works fine, but the only problem was the network browser list. We have a different subnet 192.168.X., 192.168.Y., 192.168.Z., etc..., Samba local browser works fine, but the remote subnet and workgroup are inaccessible, I double check the nmbd logs, there an error which I can't resolve it related to wins server packet_is_for_wins_server: failing WINS test #1., it seems the Samba wins server try to update the database but no success, I am not sure about the reason behind, I tried many things to solve it, I installed a samba4wins server which is a replicate server for wins windows server, but the same, I tried to make a samba to listen to microsoft wins server (wins server = X.Y.Z.T), but the same problems. For your information, the all subnet are connected through a Cisco router for the intranet and for the internet connection through another Linux router, the default router for the samba server (broadcast) is the internal router (Cisco). I have attached my smb.conf here for more details about the configuration. PS: There is another internal error (Bug) if I try to configure a wins proxy support with the latest update of Samba with RHEL ES4 U4.

[Samba] wins problem, netbios aliases never gets updated in the wins
I found a problem with samba and the wins service. I was running samba on a static ip acting as a pdc. With a SERVER netbios name. The thing is I change the static IP to 10.6.0.254 and i rename the server in the netbios name parameter to BDCALMA. Then, i put the netbios alieases to SERVER so this way everyone will find the old name. The problem is that the wins server (once i delete the wins.dat file) regenerate and the SERVER still points to the old IP and to the new one. The first is the old, so all the windows in the network only see the first IP y cannot connect to the new server by the SERVER name. How did I solve this? I change the netbios name to server, reload samba, the wins was correctly updateted and I then was able to return the netbios name to the new one. In short words, the netbios aliases never gets updated in the wins. Samba version 3.014a, Debian stable. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] WINS Problem
This WINS problem is baffling. I have built Samba from the source and the make install did not seem to put the libnss_wins.so.2 anywhere. Here is the ./configure command I used. Perhaps someone can enlighten me ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba --with-configdir=/etc/samba --with-privatedir=/etc/samba/private --with-piddir=/var/samba --with-lockdir=/var/samba/locks --with-logfilebase=/var/samba/logs --with-acl-support. I am running Debian Sarge release and I have the following development libraries installed: libpam0g-dev, libldap2-dev, and libnss-dev. I don't need ADS support. Something is going wrong but no errors are being thrown on the screen or in the syslog. WINS resolution is totally broken. I have the correct settings in nsswitch.conf. What else could I be missing? What further info do you need from me? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] wins problem - 2nd and last time post
Hello list I am having the following problem with samba wins server: 1. my servers record are desapearing from wins database. this servers(computers) are never turned off, and once or twice a week the wins records just vanish and I have to restart the server to register itself again with wins. 2. when I install a new workstation I do so in a subnet A where is my support team. Then I send the workstation to it's final place which is a subnet B. while installing it, the workstation register itself on wins server with an IP from subnet A. When I send it to its final location it gets an IP from subnet B but wins server keeps the record from subnet A. It does not update the record. If I stop the server, edit wins.dat and remove the record, restart wins e renew the workstation dhcp net configuration it register itself again with the correct IP. I am using Suse 9.2 professional with samba smbd version 3.0.9-2.3-SUSE. I am not starting smbd.

[Samba] Wins problem
Hello list I have a network with about 4k workstations. I have a few dozen servers (win 2k, nt4, so on) and a bunch of PDC and DBCs. In this network I have only one wins server that used to run on a windows 2k server. I was having a lot of problems with this server and decided to use samba as wins server only. so I installed samba on a linux box and started only nmb server. since that two things is happening frequently: 1. my servers record are desapearing from wins database. this servers are never turned off, and once or twice a week this records just vanish and I have to restart the server to register itself again. 2. when I install a new workstation I do so in a subnet A where is my support team. Then I send the workstation to it's final place which is a subnet B. while installing it, the workstation register itself on wins server with an IP from subnet A. When I send it to its final location it gets an IP from subnet B but wins server keeps the record from subnet A. It does not update the record. If I stop the server, edit wins.dat and remove the record, restart wins e renew the workstation dhcp net configuration it register itself again with the correct IP.

Re: [Samba] samba WINS problem on 2 networked LANS using a VPN connection
I found the problem: few of my Windows XP Stations located in LAN2, has configured as WINS server RouterB (192.168.1.65) and not the WINS server from LAN1 (192.168.1.49) which now is used for all stations. This caused Samba LMB from and for LAN2 (192.168.1.65) to be confused and don't know how to answer to their queries. So, now I can see all workroups and browse through it...

[Samba] WINS problem?
I'm exeriencing a problem with about 10 Windows 2000 Professional clients connecting to Samba server on Solaris. When connecting to the Solaris box, each of the clients gets a duplicate name exists on the network error. There are no duplicate names on the network and this affects all computers. The problem is temporarily resolved by unplugging the Solaris box from the network, booting all Win 2k boxes, then plugging the Solaris box back in. This fix allows all clients to properly connect to the shares, but is not really a viable long-term solution. This is a new problem that hasn't occured on a network that has been working properly until now, with one caviat. The Solaris box is maintained by an outside vendor. I doubt they have changed anything in the Samba configuration, but I don't know for sure. Additionally, I do not have access to that machine. All of the other information I've found so far relates to Win 2k servers and is in some way related to WINS. Also, all of the Microsoft information relates to servers. I haven't seen any solutions on the client side. So far the admin for the Solaris machine has been unwilling to look into the problem and is trying to shift blame. I'm hoping someone here can provide some insight that I can pass along to the other admin that will hopefully cause him to look into the situation on his end. I would probably start by making sure the hostname (NetBIOS name) is not the same as the Workgroup/Domain name and possibly disabling WINS (if enabled). From there, I'm kind of at a loss of ideas. Also, if anyone has any ideas to fix this on the client side, your input would be appreciated.

[Samba] WINS problem for road warriors
Hello everybody, I am new to the list, so please forgive me if I break any rules in my message. I searched everywhere I could to find the answer and this is my last resort. I have the following problem, which is bothering me very much: I am using Samba as a WINS server and it works fine for everybody, except for road warriors who work with their laptops on local LAN, but also connect with the same laptop through VPN. Once a road warrior connects through VPN, Samba caches VPN IP address in wins.dat file and when same laptop is connected back to our LAN, Samba fails to update it's IP and keeps returning VPN IP. The only way I can solve this is: stop Samba server, manually delete VPN IP from wins.dat, start Samba server.

[Samba] WINS problem browsing subnets
Hi, I am having some trouble with browsing accross subnets using WINS. Each subnet has a RedHat 9 box running Samba 2.2.7a which is configured as the LMB. WINs support is enabled on one of the systems which is configured as the DMB. I have browse list sync enabled on each of the LMB computers to sync with the DMB. When browsing using Network neighborhood I am able to see in the list of computers all of the computers on the 3 subnets that have shared resources, but when trying to connect to any of these computers I get a network path not found. I checked the DMB browse.dat file which is where all of the computer names are showing up, but in the wins.dat file it has only the computers listed that are on the same subnet as the DMB. If I manually add the IP and NetBIOS name of the computers to the hosts file on the DMB then I am able to browse the computer. Is there a way to get all of the browse list entries to be added to the WINS list automatically?

Re: [Samba] WINS problem browsing subnets
I have the IP of the WINS address configured on a few computers at each location for
testing, but these computers are constantly running, so the problem should not be
anything with the client being shut down.
The following is the global configuration from the DMB/WINS
[global]
netbios name = Name
workgroup = workgroup
security = user
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
encrypt passwords = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
wins support = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
interfaces = {IP of NIC}/{Subnet}
This is from one of the LMB:
[global]
netbios name = NBName
workgroup = workgroup
security = user
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
encrypt passwords = yes
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
wins server = {WINS IP Here}
wins support = no
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = no
name resolve order = wins lmhost host bcast
remote browse sync = {WINS/DMB IP}
I am guessing that I am missing some sort of entries in the smb.conf files that are
needed. I did check the firewalls and UDP 137, 138 and TCP 139 are open.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David Kruger

Re: [Samba] Samba wins problem
hello gil. [ nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(358) find_domain_master_name_query_fail: Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name WGNAME1b for the workgroup WGNAME. Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup. ] pardon me if i'm not perfectly correct here, but my impression is that it might be needed to add the following settings to the [global] of smb.conf: netbios name = SERVERNAME domain master = yes if i'm assuming correctly, it would look like you don't have a netbios name set... the error saying unable to find the DMB name WGNAME1b for the workgroup WGNAME might be saying that it can't find the DMB for the workgroup because the samba server doesn't have a netbios name ( to go by ) set? - 'domain master' will make it so that it can assemble browsing lists ( nethood ) for WORKGROUPs, in despite of being on different subnets. that seems to be at least a quasi-accurate interpretation of the manpage.. ? so those are a few things to look for -- unless you've already tried them.. jared. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
