you're welcome :)
what does nmblookup DOMAIN#1b and DOMAIN#1c give you?
since everything is working this seems to be a cosmetic error?!?!

Many thanks Michael. That worked perfectly. (I think when I tried this
previously I didn't delete browse.dat, and I don't think the lack of a
properly working root account in samba was helping much either).
If I could ask one more question - I've noticed that, in the SAM
database, the account flags W and S for the two servers' machine
accounts are the wrong way round.
e.g.
# pdbedit -Lv BIGSERVER$
Unix username: BIGSERVER$
NT username: BIGSERVER$
Account Flags: [W ]
...
# pdbedit -Lv LITTLESERVER$
Unix username: LITTLESERVER$
NT username: LITTLESERVER$
Account Flags: [S ]
...
shouldn't these be the other way round? according to the manpage:
W: Workstation Trust Account
S: Server Trust Account
I suppose they are swapped because that was how they were when the
accounts were migrated.
I tried editing the flags with pdbedit but that's not allowed. I tried
deleting and recreating the machine accounts but was unable to
recreate them (so I restored the .tdb files from backup).
Does it even matter, since everything is working now?

assuming you have a small net work w/ only one DC (samba) and no trusts
this should be no problem.
- stop all samba processes on the PDC. rename it in smb.conf.
- make sure that there's no hostname entry in any configfile on your
samba DC that points to LITTLESERVER (e.g. you could grep for it 'grep
-ir LITTLESERVER /etc/*' - everything should be BIGSERVER otherwise this
could lead to inconsistencies)
- delete browse.dat and wins.dat
- start nmbd
- on another linux system do the following:
- nmblookup -M YOURDOMAIN
- nmblookup YOURDOMAIN#1b
- nmblookup YOURDOMAIN#1c
this should always list your samba server (at least after 1 minute).
you can also force samba to be the local master in your network (inkl.
preferred master). then start smbd.
