If I do a 'smbclient -L <sambasever>', I do not see a list of workgroups or masters. That's because we didn't set Samba up to be master. If I do a 'smbclient -L <ntserver>', I see: This machine has a workgroup list: Workgroup Master --------- ------- NTDOMAIN <ntserver> WORKGROUP <sambaserver> Is this a problem? That is, why does the NT server think that the <sambaserver> is master for WORKGROUP? Did it figure that out, or was did it have to be set up explicitly by the Administrator (I didn't set that system up). If it was automatic, how do we make NT server forget that the samba server is master for WORKGROUP? If it remains like this, what problems will it cause? Thanks. -vince
I think that my win 2000 Server Announce himself as domain master browser, as I have this type op behaviour [2002/02/22 20:49:57, 2] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:announce_local_master_browser_to_d omain_master_browser(119) announce_local_master_browser_to_domain_master_browser: We are both a domain and a local master browser for workgroup ISKRANET. Do not announce to ourselves.

However I can I have my Windows non accouncing as domain or local master ? THX Davide Parise E-Mail: d.parise@agora.it
I am trying to setup samba is a master domain controller. I have setup my smb.conf according to the docs and tutorials found on google. Anytime i try to add my win2k computer to the domain it asks for a user/pass. So i tried to use my administrator user/pass that exists both on the unix box and the win2k box. Passwords are the same. When i try this i get the following error. "The used user is a computer account. Use your global or local user account" Anyone have ideas? Please cc gregf@bigtimegeeks.com in replies. Thanks in advance! --Greg
