[Samba] domain_master_node_status_fail

[Tim Boyer]

I'm trying to set up Windows browsing between subnets.  I've set up a domain
master/WINS server on the .0 subnet, and local masters on the .42 and .254
subnets, and I'm running into the above error on one  - just one - of the
subnets.  The strange thing is that I'm running exactly the same version of
RHEL on another subnet - and I'm getting no error.

3.0.25 on RHEL5.  The samba.conf files are identical (well, except for the
NETBIOS name) and look like so:

======================= Global Settings
=====================================
[global]

use sendfile = no
smb ports = 445 139
netbios name = CHEKOV
log level = 2

workgroup = WINDOWS

server string = Chekov Samba Server

hosts deny = ALL
hosts allow = 192.168. 127.

log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 5000

security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
interfaces = eth0 lo
bind interfaces only = Yes

local master = yes
os level = 66
domain master = no
preferred master = yes

wins server = 192.168.0.2
wins proxy = yes

#============================ Share Definitions
==============================
; No shares!

But the one domain works fine:

[2008/03/29 17:28:38, 2] nmbd/nmbd_synclists.c:sync_browse_lists(176)
  Initiating browse sync for WINDOWS to DENMANTIRE(192.168.0.2)
[2008/03/29 17:28:40, 2] nmbd/nmbd_synclists.c:complete_sync(290)
  sync with DENMANTIRE(192.168.0.2) for workgroup WINDOWS completed (31
records)

while the other gives me this:

[2008/03/29 17:28:06, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:domain_master_node_status_fail(248)
  domain_master_node_status_fail:
  Doing a node status request to the domain master browser
  for workgroup WINDOWS at IP 192.168.0.2 failed.
  Cannot sync browser lists.

I'm not sure where to start debugging this - any nudges in the right
direction
appreciated.  Thanks...
