Hi Piotr,

The samba-technical list isn't really the appropriate list for
non-development questions like that, moving this to the

These two settings are not related to domain controllers, they control
if the box wants to be a domain master browser for the NetBIOS browsing
elections.

Hm, actually the domain master setting does matter for the PDC. It's
really been a while since I last worked with NT4.0 style domains. :)

Still, you might want to make sure the settings are ok using testparm
and then force a browser election. All this NetBIOS browsing is pretty
messy.

Cheers,
Kai
