We have a strange issue with Samba shares on our CentOS 5.5 systems in that we can access the shares by name, but not by IP address. First a little background. Recently, our domain controllers were upgraded and I had to tweak the smb.conf file by changing security from DOMAIN to ADS and adding a setting for realm. My smb.conf file looks like this (names and IP addresses have been changed):
[global]
workgroup = OUR_DOMAIN
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
cups options = raw
map to guest = Bad User
include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
logon drive = P:
usershare allow guests = Yes
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
domain logons = No
domain master = No
security = ADS
encrypt passwords = Yes
password server = server1 server2
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
usershare max shares = 100
passdb backend = smbpasswd
wins support = No
wins server = 1.2.3.4
name resolve order = lmhosts host wins
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
realm = COMPANY.COM
[scratch]
comment = Scratch area for builds
inherit acls = Yes
path = /scratch
read only = No
I also had to rejoin the CentOS systems to the domain by running "net ads join -U xxxxx" on each system. I can access the scratch share from any Windows PC in our domain without having to authenticate as long as I use the name of the CentOS system. But if I try to use the IP address of a CentOS system I get the "The network path was not found" error message. We have some systems in a lab from which we need to access the share by IP address. This worked before the recent changes, and I can't figure out which of these changes may have caused this. Any ideas?
TIA for any help,
Alfred
