prefered/domain/local masters and os level are set according to the documentation.

i can see that it wins the election, but i cant see that another computer wins after that, however, if i issue smbclient -L samba_machine i can clearly see that it is the master for the domain, and also that there arent any other computers recognised by it.

Subject: Re: [Samba] samba loses its browse list

is it possible that it looses the master browser status, and it still
thinks that it is the master browser? (which it does)


Unless there is some grave mistake in the sources, I wouldn't think so...
The master browser status is obtained via a competition protocol whereby the
server with the maximum free CPU cycles normally wins the competition, and
gets the status after which it will announce the new master browser.

Did you check following samba configuration flag:
* preferred master
This flag should be set to Yes so that the samba is most likely to become
master browser all the time.

Cheers,
Guus
