[Samba] Forcing Samba host to become domain/local master browser?
Hello To investigate the issue I have with deleting files on a Samba host (a.k.a. LINUX), I installed a second Samba server on my LAN (UBUNTU). However, I didn't pay attention to browser-related infos, so that I guess LINUX would remain the domain/local browser. So I reconfigured the hosts thusly: =================== LINUX # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = LINUX local master = no =================== UBUNTU # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = UBUNTU wins support = yes domain master = yes preferred master = yes local master = yes os level = 255 It's been 20mn since I reloaded both instances of Samba, but it appears that LINUX is still the master browser: ============================== C:\Users\fred>nbtstat -a linux Local Area Connection: Node IpAddress: [192.168.0.1] Scope Id: [] NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table Name Type Status --------------------------------------------- LINUX <00> UNIQUE Registered LINUX <03> UNIQUE Registered LINUX <20> UNIQUE Registered ..__MSBROWSE__.<01> GROUP Registered WORKGROUP <1D> UNIQUE Registered WORKGROUP <1E> GROUP Registered WORKGROUP <00> GROUP Registered ============================= Besides, UBUNTU is still not reachable: ============================== C:\Users\fred>net view Server Name Remark -------------------------------------------------- \\FRED-PC \\LINUX Samba 3.6.6 The command completed successfully. ============================= Should I just wait longer for UBUNTU to 1) be added to the list of hosts and 2) become the local/domain master browser, or should I run some command to force LINUX to stop being the local browser?

Can you confirm that nmbd is running on UBUNTU? ps ax | grep nmbd Ricky On Fri, Nov 29, 2013 at 5:10 PM, Winfried <codecomplete at free.fr> wrote:> Hello > > To investigate the issue I have with deleting files on a Samba host (a.k.a. > LINUX), I installed a second Samba server on my LAN (UBUNTU). > > However, I didn't pay attention to browser-related infos, so that I guess > LINUX would remain the domain/local browser. > > So I reconfigured the hosts thusly: > =================== LINUX # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf > [global] > workgroup = WORKGROUP > netbios name = LINUX > > local master = no > =================== UBUNTU # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf > [global] > workgroup = WORKGROUP > netbios name = UBUNTU > > wins support = yes > domain master = yes > preferred master = yes > local master = yes > os level = 255 > > It's been 20mn since I reloaded both instances of Samba, but it appears > that > LINUX is still the master browser: > ============================== C:\Users\fred>nbtstat -a linux > Local Area Connection: > Node IpAddress: [192.168.0.1] Scope Id: [] > > NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table > > Name Type Status > --------------------------------------------- > LINUX <00> UNIQUE Registered > LINUX <03> UNIQUE Registered > LINUX <20> UNIQUE Registered > ..__MSBROWSE__.<01> GROUP Registered > WORKGROUP <1D> UNIQUE Registered > WORKGROUP <1E> GROUP Registered > WORKGROUP <00> GROUP Registered > =============================> > Besides, UBUNTU is still not reachable: > ============================== C:\Users\fred>net view > Server Name Remark > > -------------------------------------------------- > \\FRED-PC > \\LINUX Samba 3.6.6 > The command completed successfully. > =============================> > Should I just wait longer for UBUNTU to 1) be added to the list of hosts > and > 2) become the local/domain master browser, or should I run some command to > force LINUX to stop being the local browser? > > Thank you. > > > > -- > View this message in context: > http://samba.2283325.n4.nabble.com/Forcing-Samba-host-to-become-domain-local-master-browser-tp4657293.html > Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba >
