[Samba] Help Samba Virtual Servers (Host aliases) configuration problem

[Romeyn Prescott]

I'm replying to this old message just to say that I am trying to do 
the same thing and it's not working.  I have done everything as this 
person has, and no matter which host a Windows box visits, they see 
the same shares.

Is it not possible to set up netbios aliases which each present 
separate shares?

Thanks,
...ROMeyn
