If the NT PDC *isn't* the browser, AFAIK it will get very upset.  NT
PDCs (oy maybe just one of the DCs) want to be the domain master and
the local master for the subnet they are on.  You can stop Samba from
being a browser by setting:

  domain master = no
  local master = no
  preferred master = no
  os level = 0

I think those are right, anyway.
