similar to: Samba 3.6.1 losing browser elections to WinXP

Hi All: I'm facing a weird behavior with Samba 3.5.10. It's a CentOS 6.3 repository RPM. Samba is acting as a PDC and integrated 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

Hello everybody. I've been trying for weeks to find a solution for my problem, but since I couldn't find anything, here I am. I manage a network of about 200 PCs, 90% windows XP and Vista, 10% linux. A samba server 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

We are seeking nominations for candidates for election to the X.Org Foundation Board of Directors. All X.Org Foundation members are eligible for election to the board. Nominations for the 2024 election are now open and will remain open until 23:59 UTC on 26 February 2024. The Board consists of directors elected from the membership. Each year, an election is held to bring the total number of

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

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 preferred master=yes and restarting Samba is not an option. Does anyone

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

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

For a set of systems that can almost talk to each other, I suspect I have some really crazed underlying configuration glitches. I'm trying to add some samba servers (to make disks on my linux servers visible to people on Windows boxes) to a small home network; currently there is a Windows 3.11 box, two Windows 98 boxes, and an NT Workstation (not server) box, in addition to the two Linux

Subject pretty much says it all. (And *please* don't point me BROWSING.txt since I've been there done that and it still doesn't work) First let me vent... What a shit microsoft is for doing the following... creating a browsing protocol where the WINS server is dynamically elected from a possibly infinite set of machines; yet you need to hard code a static address in the

Hello! Can anybody tell me what is the meaning of following logs (/var/log/messages).

Hi list, I have a network with a Linux server, running samba 2.2.x, and 10 Workstation. 3 of the workstation are Win2000 and the rest is Win98 and WinME. In the logfiles I see that every 10 Minutes the Win2000 Workstations are forcing a election to become the local master browser for the network. The server wins the election each time but there is still a small amount of time (maybe 4 minutes)

Hi Andrew, I have upgraded recently samba1.9 to samba2.2.5. At the weekend there was an unexpected shutdown, during that time samba machine upgraded itself to Master Browser, earlier it was an NT 4.0 machine. Now when I rebooted the NT machine, both NT machine and samba machine are considering themselves Master Browser. I want only NT to be master browser. How I can disable samba to act as

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

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 reference that "two

I've got a random issue with a samba 3.0.10-1.4E.2 (from RHEL 4u2) installation. Basically everytime a pc boots up this happens: Dec 17 06:05:43 gws nmbd[15336]: [2005/12/17 06:05:43, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingdgrams.c:process_local_master_announce(311) Dec 17 06:05:43 gws nmbd[15336]: process_local_master_announce: Server foo at IP 192.168.0.133 is announcing itself as a local mas ter browser

Reading this list makes me think my questions are child's play for ya'll. */1) //Should I have more than one "computer browser" on my lan /*/(~16 machines)/*/?/* I'd read someplace that I should have 1 primary and 1 backup computer browser for up to 32 computers and then another backup browser for each additional 32 computers. IF this is true then I'd still like to

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,

Hello: What can you tell me about plans to analyze data from this year's general election, especially to detect possible fraud? I might be able to help with such an effort. I have NOT done much with election data, but I have developed tools for data analysis, including web scraping, and included them in R packages available on the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN)
