Good evening all... I know this question has probably come up a thousand times before but I can¹t find my answer and I¹ve searched the net high and low, been through the books I have and even took a trip through the Samba source code and I¹m not finding my answers, so maybe someone more with Samba and Active Directory knowledge than I can help!
I¹m running 3.5.6 on CentOS 5.5 and my configuration file is inline below. The Samba server itself is working. From Windows, Mac or Linux (smbclient) I can connect to the UNC just fine (\\server\share) and read/write with no problems. But when I pop open Network Places I can¹t see the Samba server. All the other Windows servers I have show up in Network Places including a Netgear NAS and a printer that has a SMB share on it. Some details about my network: ... I am not using WINS. ... NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled. ... DNS is configured correctly and the fully (un)qualified server name can be resolved. ... I can ping everything from anywhere in all directions. ... Adding disable wins and/or disable netbios to smb.conf does not make any kind of a difference. ... Net ads join was successful, net ads testjoin work and all the wbinfo commands work just fine. ... I¹m using Winbind of the Linux box to pick up AD users and uid¹s and that¹s all working. ... I have a single AD 2008 domain controller. ... The domain passes dcdiag. ... I would prefer not to run a WINS server if I don¹t have to. ... Yes I know it can take a long time for the computer browser to update :-) You might see some strange stuff in my configuration file but the intended use of this particular machine is to be one of many in a cluster; I just haven¹t gotten that far yet. Remember, it¹s working, I just can¹t browse it. So, any help that anyone can offer is greatly welcomed. The quicker I can get this working, the better off I¹ll be!
