[Samba] local master browser

[Rahul Tidke]

Hello!

    Can anybody tell me what is the meaning of following logs
(/var/log/messages).

 

Feb 28 09:16:10 espl nmbd[3086]:   process_local_master_announce: Server
VINAY at IP 192.168.10.50 is announcing itself as a local master browser for
workgroup EXCELIZE and we think we are master. Forcing election. 

   

Feb 28 09:16:10 espl nmbd[3086]:   Samba name server ESPL has stopped being
a local master browser for workgroup EXCELIZE on subnet 192.168.10.254 

 

Feb 28 09:16:27 espl nmbd[3086]:   Samba name server ESPL is now a local
master browser for workgroup EXCELIZE on subnet 192.168.10.254
