Using ip aliases. See man ifconfig, see the section on logical interfaces. Briefly LOGICAL INTERFACES Solaris TCP/IP allows multiple logical interfaces to be associated with a physical network interface. This allows a single machine to be assigned multiple IP addresses, even though it may have only one network interface. Physical network interfaces have names of the form driver-name physical-unit-number, while logical interfaces have names of the form driver-name physical-unit-number:logical-unit-number. A physical interface is configured into the system using the plumb command. For example: Tim -Is it possible to Tim set up a test environment for the new Samba release in Tim another location on the same UNIX box? Eric Not sure what you mean here.

[Samba] Re: Samba Server [Solaris 8] on Windows 2K/2003 [ADS] network
ERIC: Thanks for taking pity... :-) This is great news! I knew from the reading I've done that the ADS features code was put into Samba 3; but what I didn't pick up on is that it would work whether the Samba server is on the Windows domain or not. Our Solaris box has two network adapters, one RJ-45 and one fiber, but but we can only use the RJ-45 connection due to the powers-that-be nixing our request to drop a line for the fiber connection -- even though There is a vacant fiber plug-in on the switch. However..., we also have a Linux Box [RedHat 9] in our unit. Couldn't we upgrade the Samba installation on it [...come to think of it, one of our other guys just rebuilt that box a few weeks ago, and I don't know for sure which Samba release is on it now...] and do the testing there? Speaking of that, can you tell me off the top of your head the quickest way to determine which Samba release is currently running on the Linux box?

You can use just 'security = domain' which would be a plain vanilla build. We have several servers participating in an ADS network with 'security=domain'. You would then be able to pass authentication through to the Windows domain controllers.

Yes, you do have to create a machine account for the Samba server in the Windows domain in order for security = domain to work. However, Active Directory domain controllers will talk to the Samba server. You may have to have your domain admins check a box that says something like Allow pre-Windows 2000 authentication when they create the machine account.

However, the material is applicable even if you aren't using ClearCase. You can find it at http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/5769.html If you follow the link at the right hand side that says Related Presentation Files http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/content/04August/3033/3033_SCM04.zip you can download the presentation and related templates and the web site that I developed and that the presentation is based on.
