HI,
I've got a samba server acting as wins server and domain / local master.
It has a few shares which can be accessed fine. It is running FreeBSD
w/samba 2.0.7.
I have another machine running Linux w/2.0.7 that has a couple shares that
is also accessed with no problems.
I have a third Linux machine w/2.0.7 that just doesn't seem to want to
work when I give it a certain netbios alias. I have tried moving the
netbios alias to one of the other 2 machines and it worked just fine. I
guess the best way for me to describe it is to paste my configs and some
output from smbclient..
This is the domain master ------>
<<
[global]
workgroup = DOMAIN
printer driver file = /usr/local/etc/printers.def
max log size = 5000
domain master = yes
guest account = nobody
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
netbios aliases = krypton
netbios name = marilyn
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
security = share
map to guest = bad user
printer driver location = \\marilyn\pdrivers
os level = 65
username map = /usr/local/etc/smbusers
server string = File Server
wins support = yes
remote announce = 172.16.63.255 10.2.255.255
>>
This is the Linux machine that works fine ----->
<<
[global]
dns proxy = no
security = user
workgroup = DOMAIN
server string = Web Staging Server
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
netbios aliases = staging
netbios name = Mercury
max log size = 500
preferred master = no
local master = no
>>
This is the Linux machine that has problems ----->
<<
[global]
dns proxy = no
security = user
workgroup = DOMAIN
server string = intranet web server
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
netbios aliases = pixo_net
netbios name = carbon
preferred master = no
username map = /etc/smbusers
local master = no
>>
Here is the problem I am seeing ---->
<<
smbclient -L marilyn (domain master) correctly shows:
PIXO_NET intranet web server
>>
smbclient -L PIXO_NET correctly shows ----->
<<
scott at carbon:~% smbclient -L PIXO_NET
added interface ip=10.2.255.16 bcast=10.2.255.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

HOWEVER, if I am on a different subnet, then I get:
<<
asdf% smbclient -L PIXO_NET
added interface ip=172.16.0.254 bcast=172.16.63.255 nmask=255.255.192.0
Connection to PIXO_NET failed
asdf%

If I take out pixo_net from netbios aliases on the broken linux machine
and put it on EITHER two other machines, then it works just fine! i access
pixo_net just fine. Windows machines from the other subnet can see the
pixo_net server alias when they go to entire network, but Windows says it
is unavailable.
Help?
Scott
