create_subnets: No local interfaces !
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Did you see that?
An example of a running smb.conf here:
# Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces
# If you have multiple network interfaces then you must list them
# here. See the man page for details.
interfaces = 192.168.2.0/24 127.0.0.0/16 192.168.10.0/24 192.168.3.0/24
My netmasks are correct, 192.168.3.0 is the VPN tunnel range. The others
are niks interconnected to win32 LAN's.
