Hi,
In the office I have three machines. The are connected each other. I installed
the Samba 1.9.18p4 on machine B (SUN-US1-M140
Solaris/2.5) and Samba 2.0.3 on machine A (Linux 2.2.5). The workgroup of
A and B is same: lab. The other client machine C is win95, which is in
different workgroup:cir. Now the situation is that: From the client C, the
server B is visible but A is invisible( using the explorer in win95). On the
server A, I run the command: smbclient -NL A, the output is :
Sharename Type Comment
--------- ---- -------
homes Disk Home directory
temp Disk temp
Server Comment
--------- -------
B Samba 1.9.18p4
A Samba 2.0.3
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
CIR C
LAB A
I wonder: now the server A ,not B, is the master of the group LAb, why
A , not B, is invisible for client C? Followed is a paragraph of smb.conf:
[global]
workgroup = lab
guest account = nobody
keep alive = 30
os level = 65
security = user
netbios name = A
preferred master = yes
local master = yes
domain master = yes
wins support = yes
