Trgy Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hello everyone. Reacently I installed Ubuntu on my server and I wanted to run wins in samba for my network. This is my config file [global] workgroup = EUROM server string = ed interfaces = domain.eurom bind interfaces only = Yes obey pam restrictions = Yes passdb backend = tdbsam passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *passwd:*password\supdated\ssuccessfully* . syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 name resolve order = wins bcast host os level = 99 wins support = Yes panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d invalid users = root [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 printable = Yes browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/printers __________________ Problem Is that it seems wins are not working. I cant browse any computers in my workgroup. I dit configure IP adress of wins server in other computers on the network. I probably messed something up in that smb.conf, please help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Are all machines in the same WORKGROUP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trgy Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Yes they are. Can I somevhow check Is my ubuntu computer master browser on the network. I sett os level to 99 and read that it should beat all other computers in ellection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Check if this helps: http://www.defcon1.org/html/Software_Artic...-1/samba-2.html further down the page it gives some config for smb.conf to ensure your machine is master browser. And on ubuntu, maybe this is better: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-598285.html it shows some other config of setting OS level higher, but also the preferred master, domain master, local master properties (that the first link also shows).

Trgy Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Could samba occure problems like browsing service in windovs if there is more than one network card installed (multihome)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trgy Posted March 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 I m happy to inform U that I have solved my problem today. On my network I m using some kind of intellinet server appliance, it s just a box with two hdd s in mirror and it s managed through internet explorer. So that thing somehow became master browser on my network. I don’t know how because it does not have any operating system installed. If you have a problem with master browser on your network you can use this easy gui tool to discover it. You just have to setup name of workgroup or domain and it will tell you name of the computer that is master browser for your network. The link is here http://www.dynawell.com/reskit/microsoft/win2000/browmon.zip. It works only on windows machines. So I just put that server appliance in other workgroup and restarted my ubuntu pc and that s it. Browsing is working just fine. Now I can try to setup my domain :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
