Wins has nothing to do with local master browsing elections.
The 2 parameters are othogonal.  You need the os level to
win the local browsing election.  You need to wins support to
consolidate your netbios namespace across multiple subnets.

[Samba] Interaction between wins support = yes and os level = 65

2004-07-16 Thread AndyLiebman
I'm a little unclear about something. I want my Linux box to be the Local 
Browse Master -- so that the machine that's on all the time is the one that 
other computers look to. 

Is it correct that I want in my Global Settings: 

wins support = yes
os level = 65  (or some higher number)

And should my Windows XP workstations have the Linux box as the Wins Server? 
Or should I leave the Wins Server out of it? 

Thanks in advance for the help. 

Andy Liebman
