[Samba] join domain from different subnet (VPN)

[Scott Swaim]

Just a thought.  Does the firewall on the OpenVPN routers allow for the 
samba traffic?  open ports and all.  I have the same configuration.  
multiple site-to-site VPN using openVPN.  I do not have a problem 
joining to a domain that is on a remote site.  Does the smb.conf have an 
"interfaces" option that is limiting which networks it listens on?

Hope this helps
