oddities in the log files.

[MCCALL,DON (HP-USA,ex1)]

Hi Justin,
The debug entry does read oddly - but you ARE loosing the election.  Read
the 
debug message "Losing election as local master == False"  as "Losing
election BECAUSE local master == False"....
oops...

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 

<snip> 

[global] 
        
        netbios name = acdsamba 
        server string = Samba 2.2.2 config v0.5

        log file = /var/log/samba.log 
        max log size = 500000

        wins support = No 
        template homedir = /home/%D/%U 
        template shell = /bin/bash 
        winbind uid = 10000-20000 
        winbind gid = 10000-20000 
        winbind separator = + 
        winbind cache time = 10 
        winbind enum users = Yes 
        winbind enum groups = Yes 
        browseable = Yes 

[tmp] 
        comment = tmp file location 
        path = /tmp 
        read only = No 

</snip> 

Thanks
