    Any way to bind SMB to a particular Netowrk Interface?

    I have an OS X Server 10.4.7 running as a PDC, but it is also an XSan client. I do not want it running smbd or nmbd on the xsan metadata network.

    I’ve read the smb.conf man page – maybe I’m missing something, but I’m in a rush. That doesn’t help.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thought I would share what I’ve learned and done thus far.
    Made following changes to the smb.conf file —

    interfaces = 172.16.3.15/24 127.0.0.1
    hosts allow = 172.16.
    bind interfaces only = yes

    My network set up is as follows:
    Ethernet 1 (Outer Network) = 172.16.3.15
    Ethernet 2 (XSAN MetaData Network) = 10.0.3.15

    Prior to the above changes to the smb.conf file – I was getting messages like:
    Samba server MYSERVER is now a domain master browser for workgroup MYDOMAIN on subnet 10.0.3.15

    Now these messages are gone
    But still getting lots of messages like:

    There is already a domain master browser at IP 10.0.3.15 for workgroup MYDOMAIN registered on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET.

    Anyone have any clues?
