similar to: Two local master browsers in the same subnet??

I had to setup a new Samba server as a PDC in my job (Samba 3.0) to replace and existing Samba server PDC (Samba 2.2), the old server was running ldap as backend, the new is running tdbsam. I have a lot of bizarre problems when I put both in the same workgroup with other machines. I will give you a list of them: 1) The new server is configured as local master browser and domain master browser,

Hi, when trying to configure my samba server, I was curious if there's any Domain controller running on our subnet. I could only find notes in documentation of samba, that there has to be only one Domain Controller running, otherwise weird things would happen ... Btw what are those weird things? I couldn't find an option in smbclient or nmblookup to list for example Domain

hi everyone should my samba 4 ad dc be configured as the local and domain master browser or does this not apply to ad dc ? i ask because using the following command nmblookup -M MYNETBIOSNAME and got a positive name query response from a domain member not the dc, i disabled the domain and local browsing on the domain member reran the nmblookup command, and got a name_query failed to find name

Can somebody takes part in adding the following functionality to Samba4: It is necassary to do Samba4 computer as multi DMB or I think more likely as multi LMB for multigroups additionally to default main domain / group. That is necasary to add to Samba4 such functionality in Samba4 code and add to smb.conf at least 3 parameters: - multi browser support = yes/no - switch on / off this feature -

hi, when i give samba a workgroup name with more than 15 characters [the limit for netbios names], nmbd is unable to participate in browse master elections. it appears that parts of internal samba code honor 16 characters and parts only honor 15. details: i used a workgroup name of nodomain.nowhere, 16 characters, on samba 2.2.1a. the samba box was the only member of this workgroup on the

Could somebody please tell me how can I know what computers of one local network are setuped up as master browsers for a local workgroup? I mean, is it possible to use nmblookup or other command for this? what parameters are needed? I'm having problems with a workgroup for which smbclient -L server gives different results every certain time, e.g. from one week to another the results

I have two domains which are on different subnets, connected by a routed OpenVPN tunnel. The domains trust each other. Domain A has the WINS server. Domain B is confused to use Domain A's WINS server. The VPN pushes the WINS server as part of its DHCP options as well. >From either domain, I am able to use smbclient to see the shares on the other domain's PDC. I have to specify -W

I've seen this happen several times, and, short of rebooting the NT PDC, I can't seem to fix it. Background: We have two numbered networks in the building. We have an NT domain that has members on both numbered networks. To keep browse lists straight, I've designated Samba as the browse master on one of the networks. It's declared to be in the same workgroup as the NT primary

I've spent hours searching the archives and online documentation, but still haven't been able to find the answer to my browse problem; I hope someone here can help. I'm trying to get smbclient to show the browse list from a windows xp machine that's the master browser on my subnet. I have a very simple home network (single subnet). My workgroup is 'arda'. My windows

I'd like my Samba server to be a Domain Master Browser for a workgroup (let's call it 'ENGINEER'). I set it up according to BROWSING.txt, but yet Windows NT/95 PCs on other subnets are unable to browse and see computers on this subnet (even if those PCs are also in the same workgroup). It appears that the Samba is not acting as the Domain Master Browser ... at least as far as

I'm trying to determine if the global configuration options for remote announce and remote browse sync work for browsing a different workgroup in a different subnet. In the books I have, it just talks about using these options to span the same workgroup across two subnets. In our situation, for example, I have two different workgroups (WG1 - 10.50.50.1 and WG2 - 10.100.50.1). Each of these

I'm having a problem connecting from an NT workstation to a samba server on a different subnet. The NT workstation is the only Winxx machine on its subnet. I set samba to remote broadcast directly to this machine's IP address. I've also added this workstation to the lmhosts file on the server and added the server to the lmhosts file on the workstation. The workstation can see the

Dear all, i want to send windows popup message from a redhat 9.0 box in the same subnet. the receivers are on group of 'ECON'. does this redhat machine have to be the samba server to send win msg ? error i got is "Connection to econ02 failed" econ02 is a XP pro machine and a popup service is running. #nmblookup econ02 can resolve the correct ip. querying econ02 on

Dear all, since yesterday our samba PDC did "loose" his master status within our LAN for the domain "SRG" - since then windows boxes did not "see" the logon server anymore. nmblookup -T -M SRG is reporting some of the windows machines (one box running since more then a year...). - net rpc join -S SRG -U root (on the PDC works) - net rpc join -S 192.168.123.202

I changed the ip on my samba 3.0.4 server from using dhcpd allotted 192.168.0.165 to a static 192.168.0.5 Now my windows clients get a message: 'the specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted' but it is contacting the domain because otherwise it would have given me an error saying it can't find it. I have done a gg: search to no avail please help i am goining on

I have 4 Linux servers all running samba. Everything has been working fine until yesterday. With no changes to the network or to the servers samba has quit working right. The problems all relate to samba not being able to look up names against the master browser. When I try to mount using a windows pc name I get this error... [root@fileserver pdk]# mount -t smbfs -o username=pdk,passowrd=XXXXX
