Re: [Samba] Samba local master browser crashes the Windows domain master browser

My main thought was that 'Samba crashing Windows' ultimately makes Samba look bad. Besides that, it's not unlikely that there is also a bug in Samba that is contributing. Either way, there doesn't seem to be a way to even talk to Microsoft without shelling out money. I'm going to check with a co-worker who has an MSDN sub next week and see if there is a route there. -Brian -- --- Brian H.

You should read Samba documentation about 'browsing': what it implemented, what is elections, when it startedd. etc. To prevent these try to include in smb.conf local master = yes preferred master = yes os level = 255 -- With Best Regards.

Hi, I want to know if is there is a way to configure nmbd to become a local master browser in more than one workgroup at the same time. Thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
