[Samba] net rpc commands not working

maybe this is a simple fix but i really don't know how to fix it...

it seems that i cannot run any net rpc commands...

i wanted to see the members of Domain Users group so i did the following:

root# net rpc group members "Domain Users" -Uroot%not24get

and i got this error:

Could not connect to server 127.0.0.1
Connection failed: NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED

i can ping localhost without a problem

i'm not sure why this is happening, does anyone have any ideas??? thanks.

Is samba running on the local host? Is it listening on 127.0.0.1? Did
it ask for a password?

How about lo (as this is not eth1)?

netstat -tulpen

Also have you checked your samba logs?

The reason for this is that eth1 and lo are seen as 2 different
network cards and listening on eth1 does not allow you to listen on lo
(which gives you 127.0.0.1).

I should have worded that listening only on eth1 does not allow
access to 127.0.0.1. You need to listen on lo as well or not bind to
interfaces which will then listen on all vaild ip addresses for the
server.

problem solved. i had to add 127.0.0.1 to the interfaces list of smb.conf.
this is because i had set bind interfaces only = yes.

the manpage makes mention of smbpasswd not working properly if bind
interfaces only is set and the network address 127.0.0.1 is not added to the
interfaces parameter.

i guess this also applies to correct functionality of the net rpc command,
although the man page makes no mention of this and i'm not very
knowledgeable to explain to you how it does apply. but it worked for me.

thanks for your help john.
