Hello
To investigate the issue I have with deleting files on a Samba host (a.k.a.
LINUX), I installed a second Samba server on my LAN (UBUNTU).
However, I didn't pay attention to browser-related infos, so that I guess
LINUX would remain the domain/local browser.
So I reconfigured the hosts thusly:
=================== LINUX # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = LINUX
local master = no
=================== UBUNTU # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = UBUNTU
wins support = yes
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
local master = yes
os level = 255
It's been 20mn since I reloaded both instances of Samba, but it appears that
LINUX is still the master browser:
============================== C:\Users\fred>nbtstat -a linux
Local Area Connection:
Node IpAddress: [192.168.0.1] Scope Id: []
NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table
Name Type Status
---------------------------------------------
LINUX <00> UNIQUE Registered
LINUX <03> UNIQUE Registered
LINUX <20> UNIQUE Registered
..__MSBROWSE__.<01> GROUP Registered
WORKGROUP <1D> UNIQUE Registered
WORKGROUP <1E> GROUP Registered
WORKGROUP <00> GROUP Registered
==============================
Besides, UBUNTU is still not reachable:
============================== C:\Users\fred>net view
Server Name Remark
--------------------------------------------------
\\FRED-PC
\\LINUX Samba 3.6.6
The command completed successfully.
==============================
Should I just wait longer for UBUNTU to 1) be added to the list of hosts and
2) become the local/domain master browser, or should I run some command to
force LINUX to stop being the local browser?
Thank you.
