[Samba] Domain master vs. workgroup master?? (messages about domain master browser)

[Tom Peters]

Can anyone tell me what to do about the messages I'm getting, or should I 
ignore them?

I think my SuSE 9.2 box is configured to expect a doman, and there isn't 
one, just a workgroup. Most things seem to be working ok, except for the 
messages:

tolkien:/var/log # tail messages
Apr  1 00:43:05 tolkien nmbd[3962]:   Unable to sync browse lists in this 
workgroup.
Apr  1 00:56:28 tolkien -- MARK --
Apr  1 00:58:13 tolkien nmbd[3962]: [2005/04/01 00:58:13, 0]

Apr  1 00:58:13 tolkien nmbd[3962]:   find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
Apr  1 00:58:13 tolkien nmbd[3962]:   Unable to find the Domain Master 
Browser name RIVENDELL<1b> for the workgroup RIVENDELL.
Apr  1 00:58:13 tolkien nmbd[3962]:   Unable to sync browse lists in this 
workgroup.

Tolkien is the should be the Wins server.
