I use samba on a mixed OS network. We have several NAS devices and two Fedora workstations which share drives using NAS.
I have configured the Fedora workstations to only announce on the local subnet (/24) to prevent inadvertent connections from the wider organization. I implement this by putting the following in smb.conf remote announce = 10.9.136.0/24 I also set local master = no Because I figured that there were other computers more suited to being the master browser (whatever that means) Unfortunately I've been faced with some windows boxes spontaneously not able to browse or connect to the network. It is occasional, but seemed to decrease in occurance when I reduced the use of SMB shares. I'm really keen to find a "safe" configuration for my SMB shares, but I'm not sure where I would find how to do this. It's very difficult to diagnose which configuration works better without months of investigation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Robbie Barnett [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0431864709 Skype Name: retsil42 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
