Hi all,

just today I have setup my box to also be a WINS server and I started 
getting domain master name query fail messages shown as below.

Jun 13 15:04:59 SERVER nmbd[2010]: [2003/06/13 15:04:59, 0] 
nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(358)
Jun 13 15:04:59 SERVER nmbd[2010]:   find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
Jun 13 15:04:59 SERVER nmbd[2010]:   Unable to find the Domain Master 
Browser name HOME<1b> for the workgroup HOME.
Jun 13 15:04:59 SERVER nmbd[2010]:   Unable to sync browse lists in this 
workgroup.

I am wondering how causes these messages? what is a domain_master_name?
My network, including this box are set up to use workgroups only, not 
tied to any domain.

Thanks for any help
Johnny
