[Samba] Listing Domain controllers, Local and Master Browsers running in your network
Hi, when trying to configure my samba server, I was curious if there's any Domain controller running on our subnet. I could only find notes in documentation of samba, that there has to be only one Domain Controller running, otherwise weird things would happen ... Btw what are those weird things? I couldn't find an option in smbclient or nmblookup to list for example Domain Controllers, so I wrote a short perl script which hopefully does it in the right way. Any opinions are welcome. ;) http://www.natur.cuni.cz/~mmokrejs/samba/smblisthosts.pl -- Martin Mokrejs <mmokrejs@natur.cuni.cz>, <m.mokrejs@gsf.de> PGP5.0i key is at http://www.natur.cuni.cz/~mmokrejs MIPS / Institute for Bioinformatics <http://mips.gsf.de> GSF - National Research Center for Environment and Health Ingolstaedter Landstrasse 1, D-85764 Neuherberg, Germany tel.: +49-89-3187 3683 , fax:?+49-89-3187 3585

Per subnet does not matter. (right?) When you setup your Samba to be the Domain controller, do not use the name of an existing domain with a Windows PDC. - john
