Hello all,
First, I am new to Samba so maybe I will made some mistakes in my
interpretation, so be cool.
since an migration from my BDC NOVA (from linux to FreeBSD, which also
upgraded Samba), my BDC can't remain BDC more that a couple of days. The
network it is in is a class-B heterogene network (both linux and
windows). The server is alone on the network and no authentification is
done on the computers on the network.
I have enquiried a lot on the problem and it seems that some users
(around 10 computers mostly Windows XP workstation) refuse the
registration paquet for being master browser :

unbecome_local_master_browser: unbecoming local master for workgroup
MYDOMAIN on subnet 10.0.1.246
This seems to block for a while the master browser registration process.
It restarts but the server seems to be stuck waiting potential browser
state and a windows computer takes its role.

run_elections: >>> Won election for workgroup MYDOMAIN on subnet

nmbd/nmbd_become_lmb.c:become_local_master_browser(525)
become_local_master_browser: Awaiting potential browser state. Current

I add my configuration and the conversation that I think lead to the
problem.
Any help would be great,
