[gentoo-user] eth1:1 alais help

[Michael W. Holdeman]

I have a wireless card in my laptop, setup on all my ap's it is assigned 
192.168.14.102. My vm-ware is setup to use samba to share the drives on teh 
laptop. Now I have the necessity to use ap's that are set-up to use 
192.168.0.nn series ip addresses, so therefore samba does not work properly 
to share those disk drives.

I want to use possible an alaised eth1:1? and set it at 192.168.14.102 somehow 
to get samba to work correctly, and I am lost..

Any info would be appreciated.

Mike

As far as I remember, samba should be able to talk on all your
interfaces.  In fact, I don't think it binds to any particular one by
default.

Have a look at your smb help under "bind interfaces only" and
"interfaces".

" By default Samba will query the kernel for the list of all active
interfaces  and  use  any  interfaces except 127.0.0.1 that are
broadcast capable."

For me, samba listens on all my interfaces and aliases by default.  I
use iptables to block some interfaces.

Let us know how it goes,

This is a snip of /etc/conf.d/net from one of my servers.

config_eth0=(
"192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.1.255"
"192.168.2.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.2.255"
"192.168.3.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 brd 192.168.3.255"
)

Works for me, but i'm not sure about the /24 netmasks - aliasing 
interfaces on my freebsd boxen i came upon the requirement to set 
netmasks of aliases to 255.255.255.255.
Just checked out - I seem to have some trouble connecting between the 
machines. Maybe someone can point me to some good information about 
netmasks and aliases?

The documentation for iproute2 (or maybe it was the kernel...) mentions 
that all addresses assigned to a link/interface are equal and doesn't 
refer to them as aliases.  I don't remember anything in the document 
requiring /32 netmasks, so I'm fairly sure you don't need to do that.

HOWEVER, you probably do want to check your routing tables and make sure 
they are sane.  You don't want packets to have multiple outgoing routes, 
normally.

As for references.  I'd say the your best sources are the TLDP's Advanced 
Linux Routing and Traffic Control HOWTO, the iproute2 documentation (man 
pages and such), and the kernel documentation.  The TLDP's ALRaTCHT is 
incomplete in a few areas, but easier to digest than the other two.
