I have set in smb.conf security = server password server = XYZ encrypt passwords = yes local master = no os level = 0 announce as = Win95 ; domain master = yes
where XYZ is the name of the PDC. The "os level" and "announce as" should force it to lose elections. Also I note in Paul Green's SAMBA troubleshooting guide that you sometimes have to wait up to 72 minutes for changes to be propagated through the domain controllers.

Oh dear what have I done???I would like a little assistance if that's possible .... Is it a big problem to relegat the SAMBA machine back to common old member server?
