Hi,

I had a very close need and was happy to test that answer :

BTW this book is a treasure !)

But the constraint for netbios aliases is that all sales, accounting and
admin users are in the same workgroup : each one can see all users.

How can I obtain that a user in sales group only see the netbios sales
server and the other sales PCs ? 

One idea would be to have a "multi workgroup" samba server, but i can't
see any "workgroup aliases" equivalent.

Is it possible to filter the inter-visibility in the samba server used
as WINS server  ?

Should I run 3 smb daemons on my hardware, each one in a different
workgroup ?

Any idea or experience about that ?

Thanks a lot for your help,
