Dear Samba-Users, I have to administer a Samba WINS Server in a heterogenous network. It's a student hostel with about 200 mixed (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) computers. We have a DHCP, which delivers the WINS-Server address to the clients. I don't have access to the clients.
The problem is, that the WINS-Server (Samba 3.0.27) looses the Master-Browser election irregulary. I can't configure Samba a way, that it keeps the MSB. Example from the log.nmbd: === [2008/06/09 22:15:45, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingdgrams.c:process_local_master_announce(309) process_local_master_announce: Server GUERO at IP 10.0.80.221 is announcing itself as a local master browser for workgroup WODANLAN and we think we are master. Forcing election. [2008/06/09 22:15:45, 2] nmbd/nmbd_become_lmb.c:unbecome_local_master_browser(280) unbecome_local_master_browser: unbecoming local master for workgroup WODANLAN on subnet 10.0.80.5 [2008/06/09 22:15:45, 0] nmbd/nmbd_become_lmb.c:unbecome_local_master_success(149) ***** Samba name server SHODAN has stopped being a local master browser for workgroup WODANLAN on subnet 10.0.80.5 ***** === SHODAN is the name of the server. Today it's GUERO, who is winning the election. Yesterday, it was another computer. When I restart the smbd/nmdb it wins the election and the network browsing operates normally. Is there any way to be sure, that SHODAN keeps the MSB? At the moment I have a cron, which restarts the smb-server every 30 minutes, so that it wins the election and becomes the MSB, but that's really a nasty thing. This is my configuration: smb.conf: === [global] workgroup = WODANLAN netbios name = Shodan server string = Wodanlan Master Browser hosts allow = 10.0.80. log level = 2 domain master = yes local master = yes preferred master = yes enhanced browsing = Yes os level = 255 wins support = yes dns proxy = no === Can you help me?
