I'm using samba-3.0.14a as our samba server for 12 windows
machines. Works OK, except that it doesn't show itself on
the browse list. That is, on any of the windows machines the
browse list shows all the machines _except_ the server
itself. Yet net view \\server ( on one of the windows
machines ) shows the shares on the server.
/var/log/messages shows the linux box winning the server
elections.
Any help appreciated.
