[Samba] Erratic behavior when Windows XP clients attempt to login to PDC
I have noticed while testing my Samba 3.0.2a primary and backup domain
controllers with Windows XP clients, that when I attempt to login to the
Samba PDC, the XP client will sometimes randomly choose the backup
domain controller. I only want the client to join the backup domain
controller when the PDC is offline. I am not experiencing any random
network outages or DNS failures so I am bewildered as to why I am
experiencing this erratic bahavior. The following is my global config.
from my smb.conf on my bdc and pdc. Any help and advice would be greatly
appreciated:

Hi,
I am running samab 2.2.8a on Redhat 9. in my smb.conf file I set wins
support =yes. But this machine is not reponding wins request.
No process binding on wins port.
Here is the smb.conf output:
# testparm | grep win
name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
max wins ttl = 518400
min wins ttl = 21600
wins proxy = No
wins server wins support = Yes
wins hook
#grep win /etc/services
nextstep 178/tcp NeXTStep NextStep # NeXTStep window
wins 1512/tcp # Microsoft's Windows
Internet Name Service
wins 1512/udp # Microsoft's Windows

10498) is running...
nmbd (pid 10504 10503) is running...
[root@jupiter root]# rpm -qa |grep samba
samba-common-2.2.8a-0
samba-client-2.2.8a-0
samba-debuginfo-2.2.8a-0
samba-swat-2.2.8a-0
samba-2.2.8a-0
I would except some process on 1512 wins port.
Any input on this?
Thanks
