[Wylug-help] Samba tamed

[Anne Wilson]

I have finally tamed samba.  It seems that this version of samba, 
3.0.25b-1.el5_1.4, assumes a domain.  From the start I have queried why error 
messages keep referring to a domain.  This is a simple home lan, and has 
never been configured as a domain server.  In the end I decided to follow the 
trail from the error message, and set 'domain master = no' but that just 
caused it to look elsewhere.  However, when I tried 'domain master = yes' the 
error messages went away.  I haven't seen any such messages for 36 hours now, 
and nmbd has not died once in that time.  I believe the problem is solved.

I have been using samba for several years, and still have it installed on 
workstations for sharing folders (this laptop has 
samba-server-3.0.25b-4.4mdv2008.0) and have never had to use that setting.  
Perhaps it is related to the fact that the server is running an enterprise 
version?  I don't know.
