Hi,

	We had sort of the same problem. :)  The NT network kept losing it's

Master
Browser.
	I had the Samba 2.0.3 machine running with all the settings to NO.. 
even at
that, I guess the Samba machine was still winning the vote even 
though
everything was disabled.  Then I tried  os level = 0  - this seems 
to have
worked.  Well the network browselist isn't being upset every 12 
minutes now
:)

Hello fellow Samba users,
My question is, why does one of my Samba servers take on the role of PDC

when 
either NT crashes ( the nice thing about MS OS) or if I have reboot?

Is there a way to stop this?  On both my Samba servers, the smb.conf has 
domain master = no and one of the Samba servers acts as a WINS server. The 
security setting for both Samba servers is security = Domain.

Thanks for your help,

Lanny Baron
