[Samba] smbclient and netbios disabled question

[Frederic Descamps]

Hello,

I've a (maybe stupid?) question, can I use smbclient with domain auth.
without netbios ?

more explanations :

I've 2 machines : PDC (acting as PDC and WINS server)
                  MATISSE (as ROLE_DOMAIN_MEMBER)

MATISSE joined the domain without problem

with those parameters on MATISSE:
[global]
        workgroup = LINUXVIRT
        security = DOMAIN
        passdb backend = tdbsam
        smb ports = 445
        disable netbios = no
        name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
        wins server = 192.168.140.22

when I perfrom a smbclient it seems to work :
[root at matisse ~]# smbclient -L matisse  -W linuxvirt -U root%install
Domain=[LINUXVIRT] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-2.fc7]

Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection refused)
Connection to matisse failed
NetBIOS over TCP disabled -- no workgroup available

now when I modify the disable netbios parameter to yes :
 disable netbios = yes

the smbclient command fails :

[root at matisse ~]# smbclient -L matisse  -W linuxvirt -U root%install
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS

maybe this is completely normal, but then does it mean that I couldn't
use domain auth if I don't use netbios ?

doing the smblcient anonymously it also seems to work :
[root at matisse ~]# smbclient -L matisse  -W linuxvirt
Password: 
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[LINUXVIRT] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.25b-2.fc7]

I also tested it forcing the use of lmhosts :

[root at matisse ~]# smbclient -L matisse -R lmhosts -W linuxvirt -U root%

Could somebody inform me on this point ?


Thx in advance
