Hi all.
I have samba 2.2.2. installed on Solaris 2.8 and acting as a PDC. Everything
works fine except for network browsing. All clients on same subnet are unable to
view any computer in Network Neiborhood. Using MS utils I found, that our server
is Browsemaster for our Domain, but it looks like it gives no lists to other
computer.
Investigating logs i found this strange thing:
1) dump workgroup on Subnet 129.156.76.6: netmask= 255.255.255.0:
PRAGUE(1) current master browser = SUPERSAMBA
this looks fine as after this is list of computers on subnet. But then is there
next row:
dump workgroup on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET: netmask= 129.156.76.5:
PRAGUE(1) current master browser = UNKNOW
SUPERSAMBA (some digits) (PDC samba 2.2.2)
What this means? Some misconfiguration? 129.156.76.5 is our WINS server, there
is no such interface on our PDC.
2) I found that SUPERSAMBA is initiating sync with local master browser on each
subnets, which is fine, but there is also Local master browser XYZ for workgroup
PRAGUE on same subnet as our PDC! Is that OK? I thought that our PDC is Local
master for subnets it has direct access, at least I wanted to configure it thtat
way. Bellow is my smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = PRAGUE
netbios name = SUPERSAMBA
server string = PDC samba 2.2.2.
encrypt passwords = Yes
log level = 2
time server = Yes
domain admin group = @ntadm, admin, root
domain guest group = @domguest
logon script = logon.bat
logon path =
logon drive = U:
logon home = \\xzy\%u
domain logons = Yes
os level = 128
preferred master = True
domain master = True
Local master = Yes
dns proxy = No
wins server = 129.156.76.5
guest account = guest
admin users = admin
printer admin = @ntadm, admin
follow symlinks = No
Thanks in advance for any help.
