RE: FreeBSD 7.0 jail and Samba 3


OK.. if it is running inside your jail it doesnt respond to WINS
broadcasts (request for NETBIOS Names.. oi, who is Machine on this
subnet???), if it is not running in your jail, it is.

I wouldn't say "WINS broadcasts" but NetBIOS broadcasts, yes. "Machine"
is jailed Samba 3 server - I want it to be accessible from Windows machines
via \\Machine. But it is not unless I put it out of jail (or turn on WINS in
smb.conf and enter the WINS server IP into Windows clients). Windows >machines
don't have the WINS server set - I don't want to use WINS server capability
of Samba (nor of any other server on the network).

So, what are your settings for master (local, domain and wins)?

wins support = no
local master = yes
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes

can you do a ping to machine? Can it be resolved?

C:\Users\Nejko.DOMAIN>ping freebsd
Ping request could not find host freebsd. Please check the name and try >again.

C:\Users\Nejko.DOMAIN>ping 192.168.15.201



Pinging 192.168.15.201 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.15.201: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64

Can you connect smbclient //ipadres?

You mean \\192.168.15.201. Yes.

Do you see the smb client listening on the machines virtual ip?

You mean smb server - yes:

root smbd 1436 18 tcp4 192.168.15.201:445 *:*
root smbd 1436 19 tcp4 192.168.15.201:139 *:*
root nmbd 1430 6 udp4 192.168.15.201:137 *:*
root nmbd 1430 7 udp4 192.168.15.201:138 *:*
root nmbd 1430 8 udp4 192.168.15.201:137 *:*
root nmbd 1430 9 udp4 192.168.15.201:138 *:*

in case the above work for you it is all about name resolution.
# man smbclient
Read the first paragraph of servicename on servername resolution.

I know it is all about network resolution. But the question is how to
convince a jailed Samba to reply to NetBIOS broadcasts. I can't find this
in any manual.

Thanks,
Nejc

This is nota n issue with samba it is a name resolve issue.
If you add in c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts the following does all work then

ipadress Machine-name

where ipadress is the ipadres of the jailed samba server and machine-name is the netbios name of the jailed server.

If this works then you need to check your DNS server.
