[Samba] How to determine the origin of BROWSE.DAT Entries
I have a multi domain setup using samba. I run 3 domains across a VPN connection. One is always setup as the master WINS server. The master Server is still on 2.2.8a. All of the other domains are at V3.010. I stopped all of the servers this morning and deleted the Browse.dat file. (I had a mistake in one of my domains that was conflicting with the he master wins server) After I restarted the daemons I now have a couple of Domain/Workgroup entries that show up in the browse.dat file. How do I determine where these came from? I want to make sure that none of my machines have been compromised. When I run smbclient is gives me a list of additional workgroups and the master for that group but I cannot query those machines to find the IP address. Is there any other way to locate the information that I need? Thanks in advanced. Scott Swaim
