Heinz,
I would say it's because the CTC and IUCV protocols don't support broadcast,
so each Linux/390 guest holds an election, and not hearing any dissenting
votes, decides that it won the election. If you don't want them to become
local master browsers, set the parameters in smb.conf to tell them that:
preferred master = no
local master = no
domain master = no

Subject: Samba in a Linux390 CTC- or IUVC-Subnet
Hello,
we have a Linux390 environment with 10 virtual Linux-machines running
on zVM and using IUCV or CTC to communicate with TCPIP on the VM.
All Linux belong to the same IP-subnet and all Linux are Samba-Servers.
In theorie, only one of our Linux should become a local master browser
by holding a browsing election on the local subnet. But in our case,
every Linux becomes as a local master browser, they do not negotiate.
We don't think that we have a Samba-configuration problem. We rather
expect that it's a general problem related to the communication-device
configuration for Linux on VM.
Has somebody also recognised a Samba-behavior like that and has fixed
the problem? I also appreciate any explanation of this behaviour.
Thanks and regards, Heinz
