[Samba] problems with Windows XP clients becoming local master?

[Vickie L. Kidder]

 According the the docs, samba should always win elections with these 
settings. 
For whatever reason it sometimes doesn't and loses to a Windows XP 
machine.
     local master = yes
     preferred master = yes
     domain master = yes
     os level = 255

Changing the registry setting on the clients solved the problem for us. 
We never want a Windows XP client to be the master anyway.

Are these two items:

really even valid or useful in security-share mode?

There a comment about this in the smb.conf man page:

>         preferred master = Yes

Maybe leaving it at the default (auto) is better.
