2 samba server in same computer?

[Stephan Lauffer]

Hi!

Why not add a second NIC or virtual IP:
ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
and then set up the second samba server on this eth0:0?

That's true, but why not have two domains with two PDCs?

no problem.

BTW: the last days Guenther Deschner sent me his howto which handles
exactly what we're talking about:
http://www.deschner.de/gd/dual_samba.html

Just one notice: Guenther tells us to bind the interface with:
[global]
                bind interfaces only = true
                interfaces = 192.168.44.45

but if you want to allow users using smbpasswd from localhost, you should
add localhost to the list of the interfaces:
		interfaces = 192.168.44.45 127.0.0.1
