samba - Oct 2003 - Samba 3.0. Is nmblookup broken?....

Hi all,

I installed Samba 3.0 a week or two ago and I'm finding out that some things
that used to work with 2.2.8a don't work in 3.0.

LinNeighborhood used to work with just a setting of "-" in the
"Preferences"
-> "Scan Preferences" -> "Workgroup" box. Now, with
3.0 I must have a
"Primary master browser" set, (the name of the primary master
browser).
I liked it better the other way because I don't always know the
"Primary
master browser" name.

Also on the command line if I issue a " nmblookup -M - " in 2.2.8a I
am able
to get the listing of master browsers. But the same command in 3.0 fails to 
list the master browsers?
 
Is this a problem with Samba 3.0? Or is it that I need to change something in 
my smb.conf file?

Anyone else having this problem?

Ralph

This sounds like a bug that was fixed in one of the
beta releases.  Search bugzilla for issues fixed in nmblookup.
