I have multiple samba servers. smb1 is my master, smb2 is a slave.
My master has this:
name resolve order=wins hosts bcast
# wins server=127.0.0.1
wins support=yes
The Slave has this:
name resolve order=wins hosts bcast
# wins server=<IP OF Master>
wins support=no
After 24 hours the Master forgets who the slave is. If I restart the
slave he notifies the master who updates his wins.dat happily. Why is
the master forgetting who the slave is? I can't get management to buy
off on a cronjob that restarts samba every morning.
Please CC me on any replies as I'm not on the list,
Thanks,
Robert (robert@rdlg.net)
:wq!

Well, commenting out the wins server=<IP Of Master> line can't help. I'd re-enable that parameter first. But that doesn't explain why it works for the first 24 hours. Are these guys on the same subnet? If things continue to not work it might be worth experimenting with remote announce or remote brose sync. ~ Daniel> I have multiple samba servers. smb1 is my master, smb2 is a slave. > My master has this: > > name resolve order=wins hosts bcast > # wins server=127.0.0.1 > wins support=yes > > The Slave has this: > name resolve order=wins hosts bcast > # wins server=<IP OF Master> > wins support=no > > > After 24 hours the Master forgets who the slave is.

In that case, any errors in nmbd.log? A SIGHUP on smb2's nmbd would be useful to see if it knows smb1 is its current master browser, or if you get current master browser = UNKNOWN or somesuch. ~ Daniel> Sorry that was a typo, on the Slave it's not commented out and has the > IP of the master. > > They are on the same subnet, and right next to each other actually. > > > Thus spake daniel.jarboe@custserv.com (daniel.jarboe@custserv.com): > > > Well, commenting out the wins server=<IP Of Master> line can't help. > > I'd re-enable that parameter first.
