looking the SAMBA docs[1] i realized that remote browse sync
means that an LMB will sync its browse list with another
LMB. Thus this "trick" will allow two LMBs to find out
the lists of each other. There is no DMB mentioned in
this process.

At first I believed that was true...

Btw how did you examine it? Did you setup a test lab
that implements the setup as i described it?

- Setup 2 subnets connected via a router
- Setup 2 Samba box in each subnet, each smb.conf is like

-----
[global]
  workgroup = SAMBAxx
  domain master = yes
  wins support = yes
  remote browse sync = x.x.x.x
------

- x.x.x.x means the IP address of another peer.
- SAMBAxx means the unique workgroup name (for example SAMBA01 and SAMBA02)

Then, each Samba box exchanges its browse list.

Hi Takahashi,

thats very interesting and is a fallback scenario in case
samba4WINS doesn't work. Maybe the need for a DMB comes
from the fact that you used two different workgroups?
What if workgroup=SAME in both smb.conf?

Cheers,
