I *think* I've read all the documentation in reasonable detail, but I'm still somewhat puzzled. I'm running a smallish network of Windows NT and Samba on NetBSD. My problem is that if a Samba server is local master browser, then all samba servers disappear from the NT machines "Network Neighborhood" workgroup lists. However, if all Samba servers are configured with "local master no", then all is well with the world. I've tried this with both 1.9.17 and 1.9.18 servers, and the new name daemon hasn't helped. As far as I know, we're only using Workgroups, and there are no domains involved. OK, so the simple answer is "don't do that then", but I'm curious as to why the problem is occuring. Looking at the nmbd logs, the name daemon gets the host_announce messages from all servers, and gives a message similar to this: "send_backup_list_response: sending backup list for workgroup SOFTWARE to KADDATH<00> IP 193.115.4.111" when I hit refresh on the "Network Neighborhood" screen. Further, all the servers are listed in the browse.dat file on the Samba master browser. So why can't NT see them? Thanks in advance, -- Andrew Mobbs - Allstor Software Ltd.
