You need to include the loopback interface in the interfaces list or smbpasswd and swat will not work. Holger Hi, Holger are you sure about the loopback interface? I have Holger interfaces eth0:0 bind interfaces only = yes in smb.conf Holger and no problems with smbpasswd and swat so far. Other Holger problems remain, though. I am just going by the instructions. I've never tried it without the loopback interface. From the man page: If bind interfaces only is set then unless the network address 127.0.0.1 is added to the interfaces parameter list smbpasswd(8) and swat(8)may not work as expected due to the reasons covered below. To change a users SMB password, the smbpasswd by default connects to the localhost - 127.0.0.1 address as an SMB client to issue the password change request. If bind interfaces only is set then unless the network address 127.0.0.1 is added to the interfaces parameter list then smbpasswd will fail to connect in it's default mode. smbpasswd can be forced to use the pri- mary IP interface of the local host by using its -r remote machine parameter, with remote machine set to the IP name of the primary interface of the local host. The swat status page tries to connect with smbd and nmbd at the address 127.0.0.1 to determine if they are running. Not adding 127.0.0.1 will cause smbd and nmbd to always show not running even if they really are. Thiscanprevent swatfrom starting/stopping/restarting smbd and nmbd.

RE: [Samba] Using the right network interface
Title: RE: [Samba] Using the right network interface I've tried the bind interfaces only = yes but still the same netstat gives the same results. What I'm really trying to do and why I need this is because I want to run 2 instances of SAMBA, a different one on each interface. The second instance doesn't even start properly.

Yes, samba will listen on all interfaces. The problem is that Steve hasn't specified all the parameters necessary to restrict Samba to one interface. Try something like the following: interfaces = 192.168.6.10/24 127.0.0.1/8 bind interfaces only = yes You will want to include the loopback interfaces Check the sections in man smb.conf regarding these two directives.

Steve Hi everyone, Steve samba 2.2.5 The server I'm using has 2 interfaces so using Steve the interface parameter I'm telling samba to use eth0 but Steve for some reason when I do netstat it is listening on eth1 Steve interface = eth0 (the IP is 192.168.6.10) Steve netstat -an udp 0 0 138.79.161.225:137 0.0.0.0:* udp 0 0 Steve 0.0.0.0:137 0.0.0.0:* udp 0 0 138.79.161.225:138 0.0.0.0:* Steve 138.79.161.225 is the IP of eth1!??!
