[Samba] Server Manager In SAMBA domain - Display Error or Bug?
I have created a NT4.0 domain utilizing Samba 3.0 a PDC, BDC, and member server. While the machines appear to be running as advertised, a strange thing is showing up. When using the MS "server manager" from a NT4.0 workstation on the domain, all three of the SAMBA machines only show up if you select the "ALL" or "WORKSTATION" option on the view menu. Selecting the servers vies fro the menu causes all the machine displays to disappear. The PDC shows up with a description of "WINDOWS NT Primary" with the appropriate PDC icon, but the BDC description shows up as "WINDOWS NT Workstation or server" and a regular server icon. As The WINS server shows that the PDC has registered the <1b> type name and both the PDC and the BDC have registered the <1c> type name. Is this the expected result or is this a bug in the way the Samba machines are reporting themselves on the network.
