    Close ports 137 and 138 samba server?

    Hi,

    I have a linux box with samba server and two network interface. One
    interface for internet and another for local network. I used the samba
    commands:
    bind interface only true
    interfaces 192.168.10.1/24

    And the samba stop to listen on internet interface on port 139, but it
    continue listening on ports 137 and 138 on both interface. How to stop
    listen on this ports on internet interface only?
    I´m using iptables to filter this ports, but i´d like to close this
    ports on interface.

    Thanks in advance!

    To listen to only one port on an interface, you should just be able to specify it in /etc/samba/smb.conf, ie:

    Code:
    smb ports = 139
    To listen on a specific interface only, specify it in /etc/samba/smb.conf by its name or IP:

    Code:
    interfaces = eth0
    or
    Code:
    interfaces = 192.168.0.5
    These commands can go at the top in your global section.

    Thanks by help, but i tried to use interface = eth1, but don´t resolve the problem. The linux continue with ports 137 (udp) and 138 (udp) open on interface eth0.

    Thanks again

    You'll need to set the interfaces option like KeyserSoze said but you also need to add this option:
    Code:
    bind interfaces only = yes
    Setting the interfaces option only tells Samba which interface to use when sending data. The bind interfaces only options tells it to also listen on that interface.


    You can find more information in Using Samba, Chapter 4.
