[Samba] samba loses its browse list

[Csere Matyas]

prefered/domain/local masters and os level are set according to the 
documentation.

i can see that it wins the election, but i cant see that another 
computer wins after that, however, if i issue smbclient -L samba_machine 
i can clearly see that it is the master for the domain, and also that 
there arent any other computers recognised by it.
