similar to: Local Master Browser election problem

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

After running several days in the same configuration, my 3.0.6 nmbd crashed with the above error (see log below). Maybe there is a connection to this message some seconds before: register_name_response: server at IP 192.168.0.4 rejected our name registration of AK<1d> IP 192.168.0.12 with error code 6. The ip .4 machine is a win2k server, which works (or should work) as an ordinary

Hi to all, I have a samba server that was working with security share in one subnet and now is listening on another interface, configured as a PDC logon server with wins support and w98 clients, I followed the howto: http://www.linuxfocus.org/English/March2002/article177.shtml The clients added to the domain execute the logon scripts fine, but they do not see the samba server in nethood, though

I have a Samba Server 3.0.23a running on a Fedora 4. Since Vista entered my lan I've been having problems with master browser elections. When a Vista client connects to my workgroup it kills the network neighbourhood and the only machines seen is the vista client and my fileserver. By changing the regedit entries on the client side following this advice: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM

Dear people of samba, my problem seems to be a firewalled WinXP in our net. Our Samba is the Debian testing (Samba 3.x). It is configured to hold the browsing list and to become master.

Hi all, I finally upgrded Samba to 2.0.6 last night. After doing so, I have observed some strange behaviour. First of all, although domain master, local master and preferred master are all set to true, the server running samba fails to become the local master browser on one subnet (succeeds on another subnet though). The messages from the log file are as follows: [2000/03/16 22:08:50, 0]

We have a small LAN here with NT4/98 clients. I reformated an NT machine and poped win2k on it, but as soon as I try to access the network, it takes over. It can access the samba server fine, but none of the 98/NT machines can see anything. Tried originally with 2.0.7-pre4, then i installed 2.0.7 final and experianced the same problem. Win2k has but to touch the network neighboorhood to wreck

Hi all! I've got a samba-3.0.14a-2 running on a single subnet. It has been my WINS server for a long time and has done well, until now. The dhcp server on the subnet is telling all clients to use the file server as WINS but when one of the employees here plugs in his XP Media Center Edition, browsing is failing. It's failing by only showing the file server, the XP MCE and eventually the

I setup the samba server to be a wins server on my network when ever I browse the network it takes for ever to come up and sometimes it takes awhile to even to bring up the share or I don't see them. I am using lmhost on win xp system and the linux system for dns. When ever I do restart on the samba server it gives me this error. (shutting down nmb services ./smb: line 201: kill (6442) - no

Hi, I'm trying to make a linux file server that is browseable from a windows 2000 domain, via authentication from a windows 2000 server. Ultimately, I want to be able to control permissions on the samba shares using Windows 2000 Server Manager. Something like: Windows XP(client) <-> Samba(file server) <-> [authenticates through] Windows 2000 server So far, I CAN browse the

Hello, I'd be grateful for any hints or insight into the following messages which are being written to the log.nmbd file on my samba server "samba2000". samba2000 is running Samba version 2.2.8a.

Debian Sarge, Samba 2.2.12 (legacy install), openLDAP 2.2.17, connecting to a PDC running Samba 2.2.8a. The machine in question failed DIAGNOSIS.txt step 3. I've got a really odd issue -- a Samba server that can "smbclient -L" everyone but itself. Samba still serves shares and PDC authentication works fine, but this failure is annoying, and as such, must be fixed. :) -- issued

Hello all, I'm in the process of moving over my Samba server (using LDAP). I believe everything is functioning correctly, except for this error I get when nmbd starts. Looking back at my old server, it was apparently doing this as well... so it may not even affect needed functionality. Still, I'd like to figure out why it's happening! If anyone has an idea, please let me

Hi Folks, I've been using linux for the past 4 years. I'm currently running RH 6.2 and samba 2.0.6. My goal has been to eliminate MS from my computer and I'm almost there. I'm trying to use samba to allow printing to my printer from other W95 & W98 computers. I've read the HOWTOs and generated the smb.conf file which is at the end of this message. I used the [test]

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
