I have just installed Samba on RedHat Linux 6.2 which is working fine. However, I've noted that for every 20 minutes, the following error message being logged under log.nmb, [2001/04/17 14:29:27, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_ fail(362) find_domain_master_name_query_fail: Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name HOME<1b> for the workgroup HOME. Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup. I am wonder how can I stop this message of being logged? What's the simpliest way to do it?

Do you have another Windows machine on the network or a Domain controller? If not, you will want to configure one of your Linux machines to be a master browsers (IIRC). Jamin W.

The parameters that you are looking for are: local master = yes perferred master = yes These two should take care of your error messages concerning no master browser. You may also want to consider using the following: wins support = yes This will allow your Samba server to function as a WINS server for your network. Jamin W.
