Why ipalias? 1) Assign two netbios names to your server. Set each workstation to use one server name for files and a different server name for print services. Then use 'config file = smb.conf.%L' to select the conf file for each server. i.e.: server: filer -> file sharing -> smb.conf.filer server: print -> printer services -> smb.conf.print Instead of %L, you can use %U (user), or %G (group) and the clients use different logins for each service. It's cliche', but check out 'man smb.conf' for details.
