Samba "Master Browser" problems
I am having some strange problems with Samba. Some of these relate to erratic browsing of computers, printers and shares on the network. I also have some shares on the Linux machine which I can't write to from windows - though they clearly appear to be set to "everyone can write".
Here are some log file entries which might give someone a clue as to the basic problem. These appear every day in the logwatch: --------------------- samba Begin ------------------------ **Unmatched Entries** lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(1000) getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected : 6 Time(s) nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:find_domain_master_name_query_fail(353) find_domain_master_name_query_fail: Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name AARDVARKWG<1b> for the workgroup AARDVARKWG.

Note that Aardvark-ce is the samba machine: Event Type: Error Event Source: MRxSmb Event Category: None Event ID: 8003 Date: 1/11/2006 Time: 4:53:18 PM User: N/A Computer: RICHARD Description: The master browser has received a server announcement from the computer AARDVARK-CE that believes that it is the master browser for the domain on transport NetBT_Tcpip_{BADA57C1-69F3-4D. The master browser is stopping or an election is being forced. Many thamks Richard. |
For getpeername failed error; you can mention smb port nos in your smb.conf, e.g.
Code:
smb ports = 139 Code:
domain master = yes overall with the below mentioned code; you can solve most of ya problems; Code:
os level = 35 |
Re: Samba Problems
I thought I had replied to this - but it seems not. Your suggestions workied perfectly - and all problems are resolved. Many thanks. I was surprised that I had to use:
domain master = yes even though my network is configured as a workgroup rather than a domain. I still had to set the domain master to get rif of some of the errors. I think that samba is now working perfectly for me. Thanks Again Richard. |
