Recently, I altered my Samba config to correctly listen only on the internal interface (Samba is on the gateway so computer is multi-homed) using 'interfaces' and 'bind interfaces only' param's. After restarting the daemons, the following logs have been consistently appearing every 5 mins since: *Attempting to become domain master browser on workgroup SIMBA, subnet UNICAST_SUBNET. *become_domain_master_browser_wins: querying WINS server from IP 127.0.0.1 for domain master browser name SIMBA<1b> on workgroup SIMBA * There is already a domain master browser at IP 210.49.xx.xx for workgroup SIMBA registered on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET. *Samba name server AMAZON is now a local master browser for workgroup SIMBA on subnet 192.168.1.1 And a minute later this, but I think this is caused by the above problem: *Doing a node status request to the domain master browser for workgroup SIMBA at IP 210.49.xx.xx failed. Cannot sync browser lists. So it seems there's no problem becoming the LMB (local master) on the correct internal interface (192.168.1.1) but every attempt to become the DMB fails with the above errors. I tried ifdown'ing eth0 and restarting samba but that didn't help. Google had almost nothing on this particular error. I thought there would be a timeout for the current domain master and a new election would see that samba is now listening on a new IP address for the WINS server but this hasn't seemed to happen yet (I've left it a few days to test). Anyone have any ideas? Regards, Matt -- "Would you buy a car with the hood welded shut?" - Bob Young on the benefits of the open source development model. mhelios - www.fedoraforum.org
