Topic: freeswan and samba

[Marcos Migliorini]

Hi to all,

I have installed the great freeswan howto and rpms from the ShadLords contrib, (Thank you for this great contribution!), between two SME 5.6 U4 with a total succes. I can ping the subnets IPs and also if I use the IP value I can see the win98 pcs of the other subnet. My problem is that I have to use a share from a linux server installation with samba at the other subnet and is impossible! even if I use the ip number. Also if I try to see the other SME server I cant. Why I can see all the win98 machines but is imposible to see the samba machines? I was searching the forums and now I am a little bit worry about because I found that this is an unresolved item... Anyway could somebody there with experience on Samba and VPN connection could give me a hand?

Thanks

What kind of machines are those 'other linux' boxes ?
What is the error message you get ?
What do the samba logs tell you ?

Hsing- Foo,

Thanks for your replay!
The others Linux boxes are the SME 5.6 U4 box and a debian installation with samba 2.0.7 with 2 public shared folders.

If I write in the windows explorer the IP of the linux box of the other subnet (192.168.10.1) the message is "windows can´t find \192.168.10.1 etc etc.
If I type the IP address of a windows 98 box on that subnet I can see this box perfectly.

On the SME acting as a server, the nmb log is:

[2003/07/16 03:43:29, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(358)
  find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
  Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name DISTRIFOT<1b> for the workgroup DISTRIFOT.
  Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup.

My question is why I can find the win98 machines on the other subnet of the VPN and why I can´t access to the samba machines....

Any comments?

Thanks

wouldnt be anything to do with not having allowed the remote subnets "local network" status on the sme boxes that wont let you talk to them would it????

the smb.conf determines what subnets can access local smb rescources through something similar tothese parameters:

hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 10.74.16.0/255.255.255.0 10.74.18.0/255.255.255.0 10.74.17.0/255.255.255.0 10.1.2.0/255.255.255.0

hope this helps
