I see in nmbd output (-d 3) it says current master browser UNKNOWN. It has for UNICAST_SUBNET the ip of my wins server. This samba server is optimus on 10.1.1.234. What does this mean?

Hi, After thrashing about yesterday getting 2.2.3.a running on my pc, I mounted a folder on my windows box, (generously known as /windows/F ) I wrote a program that would open a file and read the contents, (file contains 60 records at 2048 bytes per record) On the windows box, I would edit the file and change the contents of a record. Back on the linux box, this change would not appear for a significant amount of time, which is a problem. ---------------- My task is to integrate a linux box with a software product on the windows box. The windows product specifies that it will change records in this file on the fly, the linux product (which I am to create) is supposed to poll the contents of the file looking for changes, when a change occurs, I go off and do something, then write a response back to the file, (which the current pc product act upon). The timing of the actions is supposed to be a fast as possible. I don't really know that much about the way the windows world works. I expected problems with file locking and updating, but I haven't been able to find the documentation that I need to read. Any pointers are appreciated. Thank Dave Fox
