Hello Community, i have a fileserver as domain member. today i found some weird log entries in log.nmbd: [2018/06/28 09:25:53.700507,  2] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd_elections.c:41(send_election_dgram)   send_election_dgram: Sending election packet for workgroup DOMAINNAME on subnet 192.168.102.149 [2018/06/28 09:25:53.700618,  2] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd_elections.c:41(send_election_dgram)   send_election_dgram: Sending election packet for workgroup DOMAINNAME on subn...

I can force a browser election with the Win98 command: net view /workgroup:workgroupname However, that does not work on NT (and I haven't tried it on W95). What I'd really like is a command from the Linux command line to force the election. I've looked everywhere and can't find it. For my purposes having prefer...

...a heterogenous network. It's a student hostel with about 200 mixed (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) computers. We have a DHCP, which delivers the WINS-Server address to the clients. I don't have access to the clients. The problem is, that the WINS-Server (Samba 3.0.27) looses the Master-Browser election irregulary. I can't configure Samba a way, that it keeps the MSB. Example from the log.nmbd: === [2008/06/09 22:15:45, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingdgrams.c:process_local_master_announce(309) process_local_master_announce: Server GUERO at IP 10.0.80.221 is announcing itself as a local master browser...

...ntegrated with OpenLDAP 2.4.23, also a CentOS RPM, through smbldap-tools 0.9.3 (from EPEL). In my network I have Windows 7 64 bits and Windows 7 32 bits. The problem is that Samba is losing local master browser 'status' to Win7 32 bits machines. From time to time, some Win7 32bit forces an election and *wins* ! :( But I'm using os level 255!!!! At startup, nmbd forces an election and wins. Then some machines tries forces an election.. they looses for a while then after some time (say, one day to other), nmbd seems to give up and loses master browser 'status' :( The interesting f...

I've been running samba servers with 200+ W98 machines for some time. I'm changing to W2k and everything was going fine. I've upgraded 40 boxes. One W2k box has started announcing itself as a local master browser for one of the workgroups. A samba server thinks it is master, forcing election. Samba will stop being the LMB for about 3 minutes and then will re-establish itself as LMB. In a couple of minutes the same W2k box will force another election. This is occuring every 4 to 5 minutes, none stop. In the smb.conf file, os level = 64. I have tried higher levels. Changing this pa...

Dear all, Is there any R package which would help in analysing election results between two elections? Does anybody know any good papers which are related to this field? I am a statistician and my main research area so far has been regression and classification modelling. The analysis of two election results is new to me. Thanks in advance. Kind regards DK...

...nd renewals > finishes in a couple of weeks. Original email follows. > > Thanks for your attention. I don't know if I'm the only one affected by this issue, but I've just received today two months of e-mails from x.org, including all the reminders aboud membership renewal and election nomination period. This isn't the first time this happens, and the last time I was told there was no automated process to quick the mail queues when errors happen, making mails pile up forever on x.org's side until someone handles it manually. This is something you really want to automate,...

Can someone clarify this for me? The docs are not clear. It seems that an election is held when: * There is no LMB or the current LMB shuts down. * A machine joins the network with "preferred master = yes" and forces an election. Any other times when an election is held? What's also not clear is how OFTEN the election is held. The how-to makes a passing referenc...

...ilable in R through the irr-package. Unfortunately medical doctors like me don't really understand much of statistics. Therefore I'd like to give the reader an easy understandable example of Fleiss-Kappa in the Methods part. To achieve this, I obtained a table with the results of the German election from 2005: party number of votes percent SPD 16194665 34,2 CDU 13136740 27,8 CSU 3494309 7,4 Gruene 3838326 8,1 FDP 4648144 9,8 PDS 4118194 8,7 I want to show the agreement of voters...

...r is located on the main server, acting as a WINS server, to manage the list of connected computers. However, when a resident computer is badly configured (ie no wins server is specified), or if a stupid firewall is installed on it, that machine tries to become the local master. So it starts an election with my samba server... and it wins. This is the part I don't understand. Why is my WINS server always losing elections against other computers? I set its os level to 255, which I read is the highest value. Here is my smb.conf: [global] netbios-name = myworkgroup-server workgroup = MYWO...

Hi all, Today our domain went down. When looking in the log it appears that a windowsXPpro machine won the election. The domain controller has an OSlevel of 65 (3.0.14a). Restarting the smb process (/etc/init.d) resolved the problem. How is it possible that the XP machine was able to win the election ? After the election the XP machine (of course) failed to become the master browser. But why didn't the linu...

Every now and then one of my lusers sets up a machine which attempts to be a local master and/or a domain master for our workgroup. This sucks since we want our samba machine to *always* be the WINS master server. (we have os level set to 255 for this machine) but appearantly it still loses elections that come up from time to time. The only way I know when this happens is when people come to me complaining about not being able to see all the servers and the only way I know how to correct the problem is to find the offensive computer, disable it somehow and then stop and start the smb services...

Hi, I have a network with 4 NIC, one external, DMZ, and two internal, B & C. It has been setup correctlly and working now. The problem I have now, is any client workstation running on network B, MSWindows 2K / XP / NT cannot connect to the primary domain controller which is in network C. The clients cannot even see the network domain in the explorere window. I believe the problem is

...this to be a problem long ago fixed. I have made the following registry edit to the offending XP machine and restarted Samba. I hope it sticks. I have two questions: 1) Have I missed something in the configuration? or is there some reason this isn't fixed? 2) How can I force a browser election without restarting the daemons? smbd doesn't seem to respond to a SIGHUP. A command line would be nice. Thanks, Ray Details to follow: This is a standalone server in a workgroup (no domain) on an OpenBSD 5.0 platform.

even for people who didn't like the outcome of the US elections this year, it must have been a joy to see all the nice (and not so nice) graphs that were shown. As an exercise, I recreated the map shown on the NY-Times website [ http://www.nytimes.com/packages/khtml/2004/11/03/politics/ 20041103_px_ELECT_GRAPHIC.html ] If you're interested, h...
