One thing is unclearly described... specially in "Using Samba"...
Page 120;
"If you have a domain master browser in a subnet, a local master browser is
not needed".

If this is right, the DMB should be recogniced as normal LMB for clients
in the same subnet of the DMB. Or am i wrong?

Why isnt´t there any master browser shown in log.nmb if i only set up
an DMB?! 
In the following example, PINGUIN and LISA were set up as
local master = no, preferred master = no, domain master = no
and Mail1 ist set up as:
local master = no, preferred master = no, domain master = yes
Why isn´t there a entry for the current master browser?

dump workgroup on subnet  UNICAST_SUBNET: netmask=  193.197.133.9:
    LINUX-AG(1) current master browser = UNKNOWN
         LISA 40019a03 (Samba 2.0.6)
         MAIL1     9a23 (Mailserver PH-Fr.)
         PINGUIN    49a23 (Linux-Server der Linux-AG)

Liebe Gruesse,
