> Maybe there isn't a glibc version (although > it shouldn't be hard to port the Solaris version to >glibc). I will try to port nss_wins to glibc. I made some changes to smb.conf and follow the tests described in Samba diagnosis (www.samba.org/samba/docs/diagnosis.html) smb.conf [global] workgroup = NETMANAGER server string = Deltacom Samba Server printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = lprng log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 security = share socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 remote browse sync = 172.30.1.255 remote announce = 172.30.1.255 local master = no netbios name = deltacom name resolve order = wins bcast wins server = 172.30.1.100 dns proxy = no debug level = 3 veto files = /root/etc/dev/usr/ [tmp] comment = Temporary files path = /tmp public = yes read only = yes [tatia] comment = Tatiana home directory path = /home/tatia/ public = yes printable = no browseable = yes writable = no With this configuration I can see my host deltacom from winnt machine in Network Neightborhood window and I can access /tmp but I cannot access by share /home/tatia. The directory appear but when I click on it nothing happens. Now the tests: Test 1: No errors from ">testparam smb.conf" Test 2: ping delatcom ok from an winnt machine (let it be doinae) ping doinae failed from deltacom host (unknown host) All Winnt machine use dchp to obtain an IP address and of course my delatcom host too. Test 3: >smbclient -L deltacom doing parameter veto files = /root/etc/dev/usr/ pm_process() returned Yes SSL: Error error setting CA cert locations: error:00000000::lib(0) :func(0) :reason(0) trying default locations. added interface ip=172.20.64.7 bcast=172.20.64.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Client started (version 2.0.7). resolve_wins: Attempting wins lookup for name deltacom<0x20> bind succeeded on port 0 Got a positive name query response from 172.30.1.100 ( 172.20.64.7 ) Connecting to 172.20.64.7 at port 139 Password: After I type the password everthing is OK.
