samba client workgroups

Kathy Khaghani — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:20:07 GMT

Could I have more than one group in the workgoup line? (see bellow) If so, please give an example.

Thank you in advance

Kathy

# Workgroup and Domain Definitions
workgroup = mygroup1

# This are the networks allowed to connect using Samba
hosts allow = 10., 172., 192.168.200., 172.16.66.

Shalom,

Never tried that.
Try two groups separated by commas, see if samba will run.

You won't hurt anything by trying it.

If you are using "security =" domain or ADS, then no. A CIFS/Samba member server can only belong to one Windows domain. Hmmm - that's true for user too, since a Samba domain works on the same concept.

What is it you are trying to do? You may be able to accomplish what you want using Windows trusts.

Hi again,

We have users from two different networks trying to map a drive from our UNIX box.
And one of the networks does not allow them to map the drive. I hope this makes sence.

thanks again
Kathy

Hello Kathy,

You can share another resource and check for that problematic network. Maybe there is some firewall issue.
