Hi
I have Samba 1.9.19-prealpha running as a PDC on a Solaris 2.5.1
machine FISHER. My log.nmb file is filling up with messages :
process_local_master_announce: Server PCPEARSON at IP 129.215.168.205 is
announcing itself as a local master browser for workgroup BIOSSTEST and
we think we are master. Forcing election.
1998/07/22 14:09:32 ***** Samba name server FISHER has stopped being a
local master browser for workgroup BIOSSTEST on subnet 129.215.168.200
*****
1998/07/22 14:09:56 ***** Samba name server FISHER is now a local
master browser for workgroup BIOSSTEST on subnet 129.215.168.200 *****
BROWSING.TXT says :
When samba is the domain master and the master browser it will listen
for master announcements (made roughly every twelve minutes) from local
master browsers on other subnets and then contact them to synchronise
browse lists.
PCPEARSON is an NT Workstation on the same subnet. Is this expected
behaviour ? If not how do I prevent it ? smb.conf global section is
appended.
Also when I start up nmbd, log.nmb shows :
1998/07/02 17:55:39 ***** Samba server FISHER is now a domain master
browser for workgroup BIOSSTEST on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET *****
..

1998/07/02 17:55:47 ***** Samba server FISHER is now a domain master
browser for workgroup BIOSSTEST on subnet 129.215.168.200 *****
What is this UNICAST_SUBNET ?
Hope someone out there can help.
Janet
