[Users] Samba inside Container

[Andy Loughran]

Guys,

I'm trying to run a samba server inside a virtual machine... however,
I'm hitting a brick wall when it comes to the networking setup.

I get the following debug output:

[2008/09/25 08:37:05, 3] lib/interface.c:add_interface(65)
  not adding non-broadcast interface 192.168.6.100
[2008/09/25 08:37:05, 2] lib/interface.c:add_interface(81)
  added interface ip=127.0.0.1 bcast=127.255.255.255 nmask=255.0.0.0

ifconfig shows:

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

... (this was originally posted a few days ago on the wrong list)...

Do I require the use of veth, rather than venet to have a samba server on a CTID (with access to the host's network).. using something like a bridge.

Andy
