Stop samba from querying trusted domain servers
Hi,
We've got a samba server running in our DMZ. Our users drag & drop files on it for vendors. Everything was working perfectly until the powers that be decided to build a trust between a couple of internal domains.
Samba is now querying each server in the trust. When a user browses the directory on the mapped drive occasionally explorer will hang. The same holds true for a Unix user truing to list a directory.
After much digging, I found that the "hang" is occurring when the trusted servers are being queried. The directory listing won't show up until the queries are done. This is causing some grief for users and the scripts that run in the background.
Since the server is in the DMZ the trusted servers aren't reachable, nor are there routes back to it from these servers. So, even if I did allow the traffic, it wouldn't come back anyway.
This appears to be a winbind problem. There seems to be no problem with authentication. Only mapping Unix UID to a Windows user name.
Is there a way to stop samba from querying these servers, or limit it to just our local server? I've been through the man pages, scoured the Internet & tried several ideas that I found all to no avail.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
MPH

Hello,
I've created new DNS servers and changed all of the clients /etc/resolv.conf to point to them, but when I check the old DNS logs, I see that the clients are still querying it. Does anybody know why?
