This is nmbd's job. Despite any docs that say otherwise, the only way to get nmbd to publish itself is to run it as a daemon - *not* from inet. I have /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nmbd.sh on my dev box: echo -n ' nmbd'; /usr/local/sbin/nmbd -D -C Development If you have more than one interface, you may also need an "Interfaces = " line in smb.conf, say Interfaces = 10.0.0.1/24 > Thanks! > > Btw I have an NT domain controller, as the master browser..... > This shouldn't make a difference - but be warned, if you bring that machine down, you screw up all the other M$ machines... it makes me sick :-( My NT boxes CPU melted a little while ago and I had to put an alias on one of the FreeBSD boxes interfaces for the dead machine, otherwise I was suffering regular ~100second pauses on all the M$ machines. I couldn't figure out any magic incantation to tell the remaining boxes THE NT SERVER IS DEAD ! (no matter how load I shouted). -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
