samba - Sep 2001 - Samba (LMB) doesn't send "BecomeBackup" requests to potential browsers

Hello,

	I have a Workgroup with >300 machines (mostly W9x and NT 4.0) on a single
subnet. I have a samba server 2.2.1a, acting just as the DMB and LMB for the
workgroup. It's smb.conf is just as simple as that:

[global]

   workgroup = WORKGROUP
   wins support = yes
   domain master = yes
   local master = yes
   preferred master = yes
   os level = 65
   encrypt passwords = yes

	Everything is ok, except for there are no backup browsers on the network,
because when a client does a GetBackupList request to its Local Master Browser
to get the list of browse servers, samba only returns its own name; thus
it's being overwhelmed with the subsequent NetServerEnum2 requests. I think
the problem could be that samba LMB isn't sending BecomeBackup datagrams to
the selected potential browsers to become backup browser and serve browse lists
to the clients. I've checked the "browse.dat" file, and in the
"ServerType" field I only can see potential browsers but no backup
browsers.

	How could I solve this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

	Regards,

---
