[SOLVED] SAMBA 3.28a 8.04 LTS current master browser = UNKNOWN

[george_pc_70]

Hello all

I already searched this forum and google

I have a broken samba config and non of the pc's(XP pro) can logon to my samba domain

It seams that my samba server is assigning himself as master browser to eth0 instead of eth1 , this means non of the XP's will get a response as the eth0 is the outside world

any idea what the problem can be ?

my globel smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = SPESWORKGROUP
name resolve order = lmhosts hosts bcast
#wins
idmap gid = 10000-20000
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *passwd:*password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
obey pam restrictions = yes
printer name = HP2420dn
veto files = /Maildir/
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
dns proxy = No
writable = yes
logon script = logon.cmd
idmap uid = 10000-20000
debug level = 10
os level = 255
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /var/lib/nobody -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u
max log size = 1000
log level = 10
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
logon drive = U:
guest ok = Yes
interfaces = eth1 lo
logon home =
passdb backend = tdbsam
#wins support = true
netbios aliases = spesforum
server string = spesforum(Samba, Ubuntu)
path = /tmp
unix password sync = Yes
logon path =
add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser --quiet --disabled-password --gecos "" %u
syslog = 0
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
domain logons = Yes
bind interfaces only = Yes
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
local master = yes


thx for a response hope someone can help me as it broke down this week during an update

As you are running a multi homed host need to be very specific. I believe the IP addresse for "interfaces = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx", rather than the eth0 designation. See here. (http://www.rxn.com/services/faq/smb/using_samba/html/ch04_06.htm)

thx already for the help

PS



checked with
net getlocalsid
what domain the server had and adjusted my samba config to that name
