Home domain revert to "home"

Postby salocinbake » Sat Dec 19, 2009 2:23 pm

Fresh install F12 DVD, Amahi installed OK.

But my home domain, is not the one I choosed on my Amahi account.

Every computer in my home network are under the home domain "bake.com" (for example)

HDA shares are not visible under Windows 7, unless I type in explorer \\HDA.
And with Ubuntu and Fedora: Places-> network->Windows network, the HDA is under "Home" instead of "BAKE.COM"

I went on the irc, and Bigfoot65 fixed it. But the next day, it reverted again to "home".

On the hda: /etc/hosts =

# hostname Serveur added to /etc/hosts by anaconda
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 BAKE.com
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 BAKE.com

Modified on the HDA desktop-> System->admin->network. Under the DNS tab, changed the host name and DNS lookup.

Don't know how to fix this.
Thanks

are you talking about the DNS domain or the samba domain?

the samba domain/workgroup (in pdc/non-pdc modes) is determined by the workgroup variable in /etc/samba/smb.conf, which is generated automatically by the amahi interface:

Code: Select all

bash$ grep "workgroup =" /etc/samba/smb.conf workgroup = home bash$
unless there is a bug, the samba domain is derived from the DNS domain (removing the .com/.net/.whatever extension and cleaning it up).

also, you can change it dynamically in the setup -> shares -> settings area after turning on the advanced options in setup -> settings.

hope that helps!
