[Samba] "Phanton" domain controller problem...

Fri Jan 28 00:01:47 GMT 2005

Hi,

Recently I reinstalled the OS on my Samba PDC, letting Linux FC3 installer
do it's thing then overwriting the smb.conf with my old one.

Now I find that although it tries but can't become Domain master browser
again, although it is happy to become a local master, a login server and to
serve files. The reason given in the log files is that there is another PDC
on the submet at 192.168.0.145 (see below). That IP is the IP address that
this (the only) samba server had for a short period during the reinstall.
There is no machine at that IP now.

What is going on? Is there some file that stores PDC IP addresses? Note in
the winbind dump below, the 192.168.0.145 address for HOME and for
FILESTORE, both of which are bogus.

Regards,

Ruth
