Hi All:
I'm facing a weird behavior with Samba 3.5.10. It's a CentOS 6.3
repository RPM. Samba is acting as a PDC and integrated with OpenLDAP
2.4.23, also a CentOS RPM, through smbldap-tools 0.9.3 (from EPEL).
In my network I have Windows 7 64 bits and Windows 7 32 bits. The
problem is that Samba is losing local master browser 'status' to Win7
32 bits machines. From time to time, some Win7 32bit forces an
election and *wins* ! :( But I'm using os level 255!!!!
At startup, nmbd forces an election and wins. Then some machines tries
forces an election.. they looses for a while then after some time
(say, one day to other), nmbd seems to give up and loses master
browser 'status' :(
The interesting fact is that Win7 64 bits seems not forcing/winning elections.
my config (relevant part):
workgroup = XXXX
netbios name = PDC01
interfaces = eth0 10.6.
bind interfaces only = yes
hosts allow = 127. 10.6.
[...]
security = user
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ldapsrv.xxxx.com/
ldap suffix = ou=rec,o=xxx
ldap ssl = start_tls
ldap admin dn = cn=admin,ou=rec,o=xxx
ldap passwd sync = yes
ldap delete dn = yes
ldap user suffix = ou=users
ldap group suffix = ou=groups
ldap machine suffix = ou=computers
domain master = yes
domain logons = yes
[... smbldaptools scripts ...]
os level = 255
preferred master = yes
local master = yes
wins support = yes
time server = yes
Now I've increased nmbd's debug level to 2 to see if I get some clue.
Any help ??
thanks a lot in advance
