Hi - I'm having some problems with network browsing using a Samba PDC
(3.0.22) and I'd appreciate any hints that might push me in the right
direction. One of the problems is that I am on a very crowded subnet
that is being used by several different groups. There are a two
separate WinNT/2000-style domains active on this network as well as
an AD domain controller. Here are the relevant parts of my smb.conf
[global]
netbios name = THOTH
workgroup = XXXXXXX
wins support = yes
os level = 65
log level = 2
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
security = user
guest account = nobody
domain logons = yes
[netlogon]
path = /sw/etc/samba/netlogon
read only = yes
write list = root
I have no problems with joining computer to the domain, with file
sharing, authentication, etc. Only network browsing does not work. I
know this has worked in the past even when we had two separate NT-
style domains.
Nmbd *thinks* that THOTH is the master browser for the domain:
[2006/04/18 15:10:51, 2] nmbd/
nmbd_browsesync.c:announce_local_master_browser_to_domain_master_browser
(110)
announce_local_master_browser_to_domain_master_browser:
We are both a domain and a local master browser for workgroup
XXXXXXX. Do not announce to ourselves.
[2006/04/18 15:10:51, 2] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:sync_with_dmb(154)
sync_with_dmb:
Initiating sync with domain master browser THOTH<20> at IP
W.X.Y.Z for workgroup XXXXXXX
However, using the "My Network Places" on any Windows domain member
doesn't show any computers in XXXXXXX and neither does "net view".
I've had samba recreate wins.dat and browse.dat to no avail.
Running smbclient -L on the samba PDC (THOTH) doesn't seem to show it
as a master for the domain:

However, if I run this on a generic samba domain member server, I get:

I'd appreciate any help or suggestion.
