nmblookup problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I moved from RedHat Enterprise 3 on an old server to Enterprise 4 on a new server. All the configuration files for samba were transferred. The new system is using the same network setup as the old except that Redhat 4 comes with Selinux, a new security program.

The samba program version on Enterprise 4 is 3.0.10. The samba version on Enterprise 3 is 3.0.9.

The problems are that chemps can be seen in the Network neighborhood of the Windows computers on the network, but you cannot log in through that icon. You must search for chemps.chem.brown.edu and then log in.

nmblookup -M chemistry
brings up a random Windows computer on the network

nmblookup -B chemps __SAMBA__
says that __SAMBA__ is not found

smbclient -L chemps -N
Domain=[CHEMISTRY] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.10-1.4E.2]

        Server               Comment
        ---------            -------
        CHEMPS               chemps - Chemistry Samba Server

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
        CHEMISTRY
        DLAB                 GC207-SVR
        ROSEPETRUCK          GC244-NTSVR1

where the Workgroup CHEMISTRY will eventually be filled in with chemps. The other strange thing about this listing that the workgroups included in the listing are workgroups that are not on chemps' subnet; they are on 128.148.171.
The workgroups on chemps' subnet, 128.148.68. are not listed.

I have run without Selinux, but this makes no difference.

Any ideas?

Side note that may be related. Mac users used to be able to print to printers on chemps. Now the macs have to use the full server name, ie. chemps.chem.brown.edu.

The new system has inet6 as well as inet running on it. Does this cause interference?
