Hello (my first bug report) I have set up Samba-server 3.3.2 on Ubuntu 9.04 (ubuntu904) and Samba server 3.0.33 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.3 (rhel53). Both machines are in the same network with a fresh install of a Windows 2003 sp2 (w2003) server. Both samba servers have a very minimal smb.conf: [global] [firstshareX] path=/srv/samba/public Both these commands work perfectly on rhel5 and ubuntu904: smbclient -NL ubuntu904 smbclient -NL rhel5 This command fails with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED on rhel5 and ubuntu904: smbclient -NL w2003 I thought the solution would be easy: smbclient -L w2003 -U Administrator%password but then the Server-Comment-Workgroup-Master fields all stay empty. Two screenshots below that show the empty fields: ------------------------------------------------- root@ubuntu904:/etc/samba# smbclient -V Version 3.3.2 root@ubuntu904:/etc/samba# smbclient -L w2003 -U Administrator%password Domain=[W2003] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 2] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- C$ Disk Default share IPC$ IPC Remote IPC ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin Domain=[W2003] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 2] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- ------------------------------------------------- [root@RHEL53 backup]# smbclient -V Version 3.0.33-3.7.el5 [root@RHEL53 backup]# smbclient -L w2003 -U administrator%password Domain=[W2003] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 2] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- C$ Disk Default share IPC$ IPC Remote IPC ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin Domain=[W2003] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 2] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2] Server Comment --------- ------- Workgroup Master --------- ------- I google and searched in this bugzilla, but didn't find a solution. Set the severity to minor because everything else works fine.
This is perfectly normal if your W2k3 is not a local master browser. Please read about network browsing. Please re-open this bug if you confirmed that machine "w2003" is a local master browser for your network. Thanks, Volker
Thank you.
