Hi. I've got some samba servers (3.0.33-3.29.el5_6.2, on redhat 5) that join a windows 2003 AD.
When mounting the volume from a windows workstation, if I use \\ip.address.here it fails saying "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed'" If I mount with \\fully.qualified.name it works just fine. Forward and reverse DNS match, and \\ip.address.here works for a microsoft box but not any of the samba boxes. When I check the smbd.log, I never see the failed connections at the samba box, only the ones that worked with FQDN, which to me suggests the failure happens because AD isn't passing the connection to samba, which my AD admins say is because something in samba isn't working like windows, so the AD doesn't pass the request to the samba box because it doesn't look right to AD. my smbd.conf is : -------------------- # Global parameters [global] workgroup = MYDOMAIN security = ADS realm = MY.DOMAIN load printers = No printing = bsd preferred master = No domain master = No local master = no os level = 0 wins server = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx ldap ssl = no browseable = yes restrict anonymous = yes guest account = nobody invalid users = nobody encrypt passwords = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories writeable = Yes browseable = No --------------------------- Any idea why IP mount fails trust with 2003 AD but Name would be ok? Is this a microsoft-ism to hate on samba, or am I missing something in my config? Does this fail for everyone or just me? test: start>run: \\ip.of.samba.box start>run: \\dns.name.of.box if you have browse, it should show the available shares. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
