I have a curious problem which may be due to the way I have things
setup.
SITUATION:
Samba Box (2 nics)
----------------
|local + domain | eth1 ------------
|master browser |-------------|WORKGROUP B |
|& WINS Server | -------------
|for WKGRP A | \
---------------- \
| eth0 eth0 \ Samba Box 2
| -------------
| | local master|
-------------- | and domain |
| WORKGROUP A | | logon server|
-------------- | for wkgrp B |
-------------
In workgroup A I have the router which is a local master browser for
workgroup A *and* a domain master browser. It also acts as a wins
server. Within workgroup B I have another Samba box (yipee!) That is
the local master browser for workgroup b and is also a logon server
(domain logons = true). Now machines in workgroup b get their logon
scripts run fine but machines in workgroup a get a "no domain server
was available" message. Network neighboorhood works fine ( I can see
workgroup A and B) due to me having a local master browser for each
subnet *and* a domain master browser to collate one list. The local
master browser that is the logon server points to the WINS server via
the WINS SERVER = parameter. testparm shows the config is fine for
both boxes. The machines in workgroup a are configured to login to
the wkgrp b domain in the bottom box of the microsoft windows network
login box and I *do* know that it can work like this because I have
done it before (but cannot remember how I did it). I am pretty sure I
have missed out something simple. The only clue I have to go on is
the error message I get.
smbclient -L gives:
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
GMSLA Router
GMSLB otherbox
Shouldn't there be a Domain Master section in the output as well
(IIRC).
Any help in resolving this matter would be appreciated as I am tearing
my hair out.
Regards,
Shaun
