I am porting Samba 2.0.6 to a new platform.
The platform is Stratus, the OS is VOS.
VOS is not only not Unix, but it is being modified at the same time to be
POSIX.1 compliant as well as implementing STCP from Spider.
I do not have a shell. I can not use configure etc. I don't even have a
makefile at this time.
As you can see, I am having lots of fun.
Amongst my many problems, here is one I need help with now:
My dev/test environment consists of 1 NT4 workstation connected to the @home
network using a security pkg (like VPN) to a Stratus box.
The Stratus box has several ethernet cards.
I have limited samba to just the one interface via smb.conf variables
interfaces, bind interfaces only, and hosts allow.
What I do NOT know, is what to set up for things like local/master domain
master etc. Given my dev/test setup, what is the correct combination of
variables to make things like name resolution and network neighborhood work?
The symptom is that nmbd is in a loop putting out a continuous stream of log
msgs that repeat as follows.
[2000/05/01 19:46:15, 10] nmbd_sendannounce.c:(404)
announce_myself_to_domain_master_browser: t (957224775) - last(957224760)
< 900

etc
Here is my smb.conf file (ip's mangled due to security and contractual
reasons)
[global]
comment = The VOS Samba 2 Server
server string = Vos Samba 2.0.6
workgroup = VOSAMBA2
netbios name = dkcufnjtr

bind interfaces only = Yes
hosts allow = 111.222.333. 127. 24.88.99.
local master = yes
dns proxy = No
domain master = No

name resolve order = lmhosts bcast wins hosts
security = user
browsable = yes
socket options =

log file = logs/%m.log
max log size = 50000
smb passwd file = /system/samba/private/smbpasswd

[homes]
guest ok = no
browseable = no
[temp]
path = /system/samba/temp
