I have a 2.2.8 (on RH 8.0) samba that is supposed to be PDC yet upon starting it I get only 00 and 1e records in wins for that name! When a XP ws attempts to join the domain it asks for a Domain<1b> record and ethereal shows that "request name does not exist". Duh! I could tell that from the wins.dat file... So the question is how do I force samba to be pdc after all and register 1b (and 1C?)? Please note that Domain shows in wins with 00 and 1e. Smbclient -L from two difeerent machines shows the PDC as the master for that domain. But it does not tell me what kind of master is that... Relevant parts from smb.conf: load printers = no security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd local master = yes os level = 254 domain master = ye preferred master = yes domain logons = yes logon path = \\%N\profiles\%u logon drive = H: logon home = \\akka\%u logon script = loginscr.bat wins support = no wins server = 192.168.2.156
