Recently our Unix Administrator installed Samba v.2.07. It was configured to attach to our NT domain. When this occurred we started to experience problems with user authentication's to the domain and it appeared that the "Samba" server had become the master browser. Have you seen this problem occur at other sites? If so, what is the work around? We have been using Samba v2.06 on another server for about two years without any similar incidents.
Hi Charles, You probably want to look at the following smb.conf parameters; since you are in an NT domain, you want to set them such that Samba will not win a browser election, or become the domain master browser: os level local master = no preferred master = no domain master = no Hope this helps, Don -----Original Message----- From: Purcell, Charles E [mailto:Charles.E.Purcell@bge.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2001 12:12 PM To: 'samba@samba.org' Subject: NT Domain authentication's Recently our Unix Administrator installed Samba v.2.07.

What is the OS level of the new samba 2.0.7 server? Is it setup as security = domain and password server = ? If you can get him to print it, or post the information himself it will help to diagnose, but currently it sounds like a mixed up OS level or 'master browser' option.
