Just to be clear about this from the beginning, the lines:
workgroup = yanlan
local master = yes
os level = 65
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
All appear in my smb.conf and I am using samba 2.0.3
For some reason I seem to be unable to make the samba server believe that
it should ble in the workgroup yanlan, e.g. when I execute
"smbclient -L familysys"
I get:
Added interface ip=10.0.0.6 bcast=10.0.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

MYGROUP TITO
YANLAN FAMILYSYS
Where TITO is the Samba server mentioned above.
Needless to say the upshot of this is that I cannot browse tito (or it's
little brother lnbox) from the Network Neighborhood of any Windows box on
the network (I _can_ access them through "find computer" or the dos
NET
command).
I understand that "MYGROUP" is supposed to be the default value if the
workgroup is not specified, is the workgroup option broken? If so, can
anybody tell me how I may be able to get around this (I'd rather avoid
changing the workgroup on all the windows machines if possible).
