oddities in the log files.

[Justin Weissig]

Hi,

I have been having some issues where the samba server will take over my
domain and I think that I have the issue resolved but I am still seeing
oddities in the log files and I just wanted some clarification as to what
this means. I am using winbind for authentication.

Here is the layout of my test network:

192.168.100.1 (ALTEC) - NT4 sp5 (WINSERVER PDC)
192.168.100.2 (ACDSAMBA) - Redhat 7.1 (WINSERVER MEMBER)
192.168.100.3 (LANSING) - NT4 sp5 (WINSERVER BDC)

Here are the log entries that I think are odd:

[2002/01/10 11:28:09, 3] nmbd/nmbd_elections.c:process_election(284)
process_election: Election request from ALTEC at IP 192.168.100.1 on subnet
192.168.100.2 for workgroup WINSERVER.
[2002/01/10 11:28:09, 3] nmbd/nmbd_elections.c:win_election(236)
win_election: Losing election as local master == False
[2002/01/10 11:28:10, 3]
nmbd/nmbd_incomingdgrams.c:process_local_master_announce(275)
process_local_master_announce: from ALTEC<00> IP 192.168.100.1 to
WINSERVER<1e> for server ALTEC.

Should the samba server not say "Losing election as local master == True"
and not "Losing election as local master == False"??

Here is my smb.conf
