hi list

Can somebody explain why smbd and nmbd are not affected by the following 
strict ruleset in /etc/hosts* ?

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       MYHOSTNAME localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.1.1       MYHOSTNAME
192.168.2.10    MYSERVER

cat /etc/hosts.allow
#ALL: localhost 127.0.1.1 192.168.2.0/24
ALL: localhost 127.0.1.1 192.168.2.0/32

/etc/hosts.deny
ALL: ALL

With this ruleset in place nmbd broadcasts still pull through and cifs mounts 
are still possible, whereas ssh/rsh access is no longer possible.

To get rid of nmbd/smbd access I have to tweak smb.conf additionally:

/etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]
        bind interfaces only = Yes
        interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8, eth0
        ;; hosts allow = 192.168.2.0/24, 127.
        hosts allow = 192.168.2.0/32, 127.
        hosts deny = ALL

With this smb.conf tweaking it works fine, but why could smbd/nmbd run past 
/etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny without those lines in smb.conf?

To my limited CIDR understandig a /32 mask should restrict access to 
192.168.2.0.0 and 192.168.2.1 - this should be fine for testing purposes.

Once this denies all services I'd set it to /24 to have access to the whole 
"subnet" from 192.168.2.0-192.168.2.255 and 127.0.0.1 127.0.1.1
