How to tell samba on which interface to listen on?

robertjinx · 03-05-2009, 01:48 PM

I have samba server and I have set it up to on lo and eth1 interfaces, but it still listens on 0.0.0.0, meaning all interfaces.

interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 192.168.10.0/24

but this doesnt work?

Does anyone know how to fix this?

This is not correct. Those are not interfaces rather than networks. In your case you can use

Code:

interfaces = eth1

You can follow eth1 by its IP address if you want.

Add

bind interfaces only = yes

for the interfaces restriction to take any useful effect.
