Is a samba domain master browser supposed to be able to get browse lists from accross subnets? If not, is there any way to force a samba domain to collect browse lists from outside it's subnet? We have many users who need to access domains outside our subnets, and they need to be able to browse to it.
My samba is the master browser and there is no other domain master in the X-TEST domain. Anyway, os level=65 should take care of that even if there were.
I've also read chapter 9 of the samba how to, and I'm doing everything in there according to plan, I think. The thing that scares me is: "Failing a complete restart, the only other thing you can do is wait until the entry times out and is then flushed from the list. This may take a long time on some networks (perhaps moths)." Ouch. I hope I don't have to wait a month for nmbd to collect the browse list from all the WINS hosts on campus???
Additional info: we don't have a WINS server on our subnet, we point all our clients to a two WINS servers, both outside of our subnet, and that works fine with NT4 and samba domains.
Here is my smb.conf global:
[global]
workgroup = X-TEST
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
map to guest = Bad User
logon drive = z:
logon path =
logon script = x-test-logon.bat
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
server string = X-TEST Samba Domain
netbios name = xxx-x
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m
domain master = yes
domain logons = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
wins server = XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX (a wins server on a different subnet)
hosts allow = XXX.XXX XXX.XXX (allowing IP's from campus wide subnets)
os level = 65
log level = 3
max log size = 0
log file = /var/log/samba/XXX-X-samba.log
Thanks!
