samba - Feb 2005 - "There is already a domain master browser at ...", but there isn't one

Hi list,

I get the following message:

nmbd[6294]:   There is already a domain master browser at IP 10.0.0.127 for 
workgroup WORKGROUP registered on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET.

We have no box with IP 10.0.0.127, this was the IP at installation time, it is 
changed now.

What is the reason for this behavior?

Thanks
Christian

It is cached data, probably in wins.dat. Stop samba, drop the file, restart and
the problem goes away.

You can lsof while samba is running, grep for samba tasks, and see what dirs
samba uses on your distro. Then grep in those dirs for the bad IP.
