[Samba] Forcing Samba host to become domain/local master browser?

[Winfried]

Thanks Ricky, problem solved:

C:\Users\fred>nbtstat -a linux

       Name               Type         Status
    ---------------------------------------------
    LINUX          <00>  UNIQUE      Registered
    LINUX          <03>  UNIQUE      Registered
    LINUX          <20>  UNIQUE      Registered
    WORKGROUP      <1E>  GROUP       Registered
    WORKGROUP      <00>  GROUP       Registered

C:\Users\fred>nbtstat -a ubuntu

       Name               Type         Status
    ---------------------------------------------
    UBUNTU         <00>  UNIQUE      Registered
    UBUNTU         <03>  UNIQUE      Registered
    UBUNTU         <20>  UNIQUE      Registered
    ..__MSBROWSE__.<01>  GROUP       Registered
    WORKGROUP      <1D>  UNIQUE      Registered
    WORKGROUP      <1B>  UNIQUE      Registered
    WORKGROUP      <1E>  GROUP       Registered
    WORKGROUP      <00>  GROUP       Registered

The cause was that I assumed incorrectely that running "service smbd reload"
on the Ubuntu host would also tell nmbd to reload its configuration file.
OTHO, Debian provides a single script to handle both applications
(/etc/init.d/samba reload).

Thank you.
