[Samba] NMBD cannot find Domain Master

I'm running version: 2.0.7 on RH 7.0 on a small LAN at home with Win98, WinME 
and Win2K computers. Samba seems to be working well, except that my nmbd.logs 
are filled with the following messages:

[2002/07/23 05:14:19, 0] 
nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(360)
  find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
  Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name SWAMP<1b> for the workgroup 
SWAMP.
  Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup.

NMBD generates these messages approximately every 15 minutes. Here's my 
smb.conf:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from blackhawk.swamp.ca (192.168.0.1)
# Date: 2002/07/23 12:29:34

# Global parameters
[global]
	workgroup = SWAMP
	netbios name = BALDEAGLE
	server string = Samba Server %h
	interfaces = 192.168.0.2/24 127.0.0.1/24
	bind interfaces only = Yes
	security = SHARE
	encrypt passwords = Yes
	null passwords = Yes
	unix password sync = Yes
	log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
	max log size = 50
	time server = Yes
	os level = 65
	lm announce = True
	preferred master = Yes
	dns proxy = No
	wins support = Yes
	guest account = smbuser

[public]
	comment = Public
	path = /public
	force user = smbuser
	writeable = Yes
	create mask = 0664
	directory mask = 0775
	guest ok = Yes

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	writeable = Yes
	create mask = 0750
	browseable = No

Since everything seems to working, these messages are mostly a nuisance. How 
can I make nmbd stop complaining?
