Yesterday (06/06/2004) nmbd hs been crached because a WIN XP laptop tree to force a election for master browser. This laptop is connected to my PDC (samba 3.0.4), but there are 4 laptop with the same win xp, all connected on my domain. I found a registry patches for correct the forcing election by WIN XP. The laptop which provocate the crach have not been modify by the patches and of course have provocated the panic action. The 07/06/2004, all client cannot connect to server. It's not possible, the server must restart a nmbd !!! The XP client is a laptop with latest security paches and it's on a IBM X40 laptop.
Created attachment 539 [details] The log of nmbd.log You can find the begin of problem with the laptop and the crach trace
Description of PDC : Samba 3.0.4 - ACL support - LDAP backend - WINS client The WINS server is a windows 2000 server .
I am using Samba 3.0.7 and have similar problem (but w/o the daemon to crash). From time to time the domain master which is normally our PDC gets replaced with another machine, even that the 'os level = 65'. This is bad.
You can by pass this problem with this modification : modify your smb.conf for set os level = 128 And if not work, you must modify each XP station with the registry editor: Modify the parameter MaintainServerList which can find here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \system\currentControlSet\Services\Browser\Parameters The value can be : Yes, No ou Auto : Yes for others DC et other server, Auto for master browser, No for workstations
please retest against 3.0.11 and reopen if you still see an nmbd crash.
sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
