Samba and the PDC are fighting for being the Browse master, why?

[Andre Albsmeier]

Hello,

in my log.nmb I regularly see these messages:


process_local_master_announce: Server GUTENBERG at IP 192.168.35.90 is announcing itself as a local master browser for workgroup PIEZO and we think we are master. Forcing election.

and so on. Every 12 minutes these two are starting to fight for being the LMB.
FAURE is the samba machine and GUTENGERG is the PDC (NT-Server). For various
reasons, I want the samba machine to be the local master browser (and the
domain master browser) so I have:

 domain master          = yes
 local master           = yes
 preferred master       = yes
 os level               = 65

in my config file. Does anyone know what I can do on the PDC to stop
this behaviour?

Thanks,
