Vacation Message and subnetwork browsing...

[Hans Rasmussen]

in your interfaces line, should it be 10.13.37.1 or 10.13.32.1  It looks
like you have a typo there.

Subject: Re: Vacation Message and subnetwork browsing...


I want to first appologize for inadvertantly bombarding everyone with
auto-reply vacation mailings. (Thank God i was on digest). I thought I had
set my subscription to NO MAIL but...  Please accept my sincere apologies
and it will/should not happen again. I have turned it off; from the client
anyways.

Secondly; I am running SAMBA 2.2.2 on a Solaris 2.7 box with one network
card. The IT guys (Novell, Windows people all) had us change our network
addresses from one C-class address with no subnets to what I have been told
and looks like a pseudo-B-class network with three subnets. The network
number(s) are 10.13.32.x (SAMBA server is on this subnet); 10.13.33.x (all
SAMBA clients are on this subnet); and 10.13.34.x (Network printers). The
subnet masks are all set to 255.255.252.0 (for each 10.13.3x.1). The clients
on the 10.13.33 subnet can browse under network neighborhood and can see the
few NT/W2K workstations on the network but cannot browse the SAMBA server
(10.13.32.7). If they search for that specific IP address or the hostname
(if they have a hosts file), they can then browse the shares. Also, these
clients are DHCP from a Novell server and get their DNS from there also. The
Solaris box is a DNS server in and of itself. (The DNS configuration is up
in the air at the moment as I no longer have primary responsibility for it).

On the Solaris side I have setup the hosts, netmasks, and the networks
files. The smb and nmb run as daemons with the nmb doing WINS and competing
for local browse master. But, it only uses one subnet (10.13.32.). When I
try and add the interfaces to the smb.conf, the nmb daemon fails to start.
What am I missing? What am I doing wrong? This should work. Here some of the
pertinant info:

smb.conf interfaces line that does not work:

interfaces = 10.13.37.1/255.255.252.0 10.13.33.1/255.255.252.0
10.13.34.1/255.255.252.1
