Samba List: I have a multisite setup connected via T1/VPN. Each site has it's own SMB server (Debian 4.1) and between 6 and 70 PCs connected to it at a time. Each is a PDC for it's respective site, on different domain names. Any given site may have to access files stored on a different site's server, so SMB traffic is allowed between locations.
We've had a problem for a while now where the browse list on PCs never expires old entries. For instance, one of the IT employees had a testing workgroup set up that still appears in the browse list 8 months after he's left. We've tried the "turn everything off" suggestion but it's 1) hard to know if we really got *everything* off; we're a bit of a 24/7 operation and 2) a minor problem, so we haven't dedicated that much time to figuring it out. One of the servers sporadically has a weird log entry, though, and I think it might be related. Once or twice a week, the log output looks like: nmbd/nmbd_synclists.c:complete_sync(284) sync with DELETEME(0.0.0.0) for workgroup TEMP completed (0 records) : 15 Time(s) nmbd/nmbd_synclists.c:complete_sync(284) sync with HARRIS(0.0.0.0) for workgroup SERVERS completed (3 records) : 18 Time(s) nmbd/nmbd_synclists.c:complete_sync(284) sync with HARRIS(0.0.0.0) for workgroup SERVERS completed (4 records) : 3 Time(s) nmbd/nmbd_synclists.c:complete_sync(284) sync with JAZZ(0.0.0.0) for workgroup HARMONY completed (0 records) : 26 Time(s) nmbd/nmbd_synclists.c:complete_sync(284) sync with JAZZ(0.0.0.0) for workgroup HARMONY completed (0 records)‹ QjœG íÝksÛÈv.àÏɯÀGNUÆÆ•ÔÉ©‚$‰/*�’ÇN�rYczoW,Q-ïøߧ$¨I€M¨›½¼‰KÚëQãÒ÷ÕÿåÚv÷í¼uÛ–Ýö«û–ûÿŸ_nß²ÿ{úùíû›¿CöÕ§ïó´:]ï�·øl=Ýß¾›}ù#äß}š?Ìî?Íþ'´ÞþúüøöñéþíâóÝíç·O÷³ÿy˜ýýsöå û˜Õj¶Ûù�Àõ}¿ó‡õma}þþ8ûüå·ÅÿëÛ½õóŸìçÏ‹ÿ/è 3넶tÐAtÐAtÐAò_.tÐA NOTE: This email sent in plain text (I hope!) so it might not look "correct", but it's supposed to look like Unicode-to-ASCII non-sense.
