Description Willi Gruber 2004-10-06 03:11:11 UTC
Server on Dedian 3.0 Woody with Samba 3.0.7 set as PDC (PAS006) with 'os level 
= 255' is loosing the domain control and gets replaced by another machine 
(PAN007) on the network.

Using 'smbclient -L pas006' gives this list:

 Workgroup            Master
 ---------            -------
 DOMAIN               PAN007

Althought the log is talking about different host becomming a domain master.

Last part from nmbd.log:
=========================

  Samba name server PAS006 is now a local master browser for workgroup DOMAIN 
on subnet 192.168.101.4

Why is the server PAS006 loosing to be domain master even if the os level was 
set to maximum???

please attach your smb.conf and include a network trace 
of the browse electrion process.
Comment 2 Oleg 2005-07-18 12:47:16 UTC
I have same problem. I have one machine that always intercept local master 
browsing. I know that guy, he is buggy-firewalled. His firewall blocks all 
incoming requests about "Forcing Master Browser Elections".  And Permits all 
inbound request "Who is current Master Browser?" and outbound requests "I'm 
current master browser". Then He connects to local network, He always became 
master browser for himself, because his firewall blocks requests from my master 
browser (and others computers ;((( !!!). 
Now he is fully firewalled from my master browser server and all seems okay. 
(for me, not for him) ;)

Comment 3 Oleg 2006-01-08 08:25:51 UTC
this bug seems to be resolved in new version of samba (tested on 3.0.20 & 3.0.21a). Thank you, Samba Team.

Please retest against a current Samba release  and reopen if the 
issue is still present.
