Re: Browsing: IP subnet <=> workgroups

Hi,

I have 3 samba servers working with no problems at all ... but I'm
kind of annoyed with the way the master browser is chosen ..

Each server is supposed to service a specific IP subdomain which is no
problem as 2 of them contain only one workgroup("domain"?) so that's
ok.

The third one is servicing 10 different workgroups all within one IP
subnet. Is there a trick to force the samba server to become the
master browser for all these workgroups ? or do I need to live with
the split situation where each workgroup keeps on electing a LMB
depending on which machine is switched on ?
It would be nice if the samba server did it all !
TIA for any input .. (google=nothing found)


Look at the 'os level' and 'preferred master' parameters. Setting the
first to around 40 and the second to 'yes' should do something.
You have 10 different workgroups in one subnet? That seems weird to me
but I don't have much to do with this area any more.
