How do I export a Samba share on a designated Ethernet device?
Resolution:

By default, Samba queries the kernel for all active interfaces and uses those broadcast-capable interfaces (except 127.0.0.1) to use for browsing, name registration and other traffic in exporting the Samba share.

To restrict it to a designated Ethernet device these smb.conf options are needed: interface and bind interfaces only. The entries below allow eth0 to export the shares:

interfaces = eth0
bind interfaces only = yes

For all interfaces that start with the substring "eth", the value eth* can be set.


How well did this entry answer your question?
