Could somebody please tell me how can I know what computers of one local
network are setuped up as master browsers for a local workgroup? I mean,
is it possible to use nmblookup or other command for this? what parameters
are needed?
I'm having problems with a workgroup for which smbclient -L server gives
different results every certain time, e.g. from one week to another the
results change, like this:
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
MYGROUP PC1
and some weeks later:
Workgroup Master
--------- -------
MYGROUP PC2
(not only two, I have seen four different master browsers) perhaps the PCs
of that workgroup are misconfigured, but I don't have physical access to
them. I'm thinking to install a master browser with an 'os level' high
enough in order to get rid of the other possible master browsers. Is it
ok?
thanks,
Pablo Chamorro C.
