Ok, I've got another newbie issue. I'm trying to set up a samba server on my
new Linux (RHEL3) box. I think I've got it set up properly, but my WinXP
computer cannot find the Linux box. (ping works, but nothing else does. Even
ftp gives a weird error about "must authenticate before setting USER".) The
WinXP box is part of a workgroup (mylittlegroup), not a domain. I've set the
smb.conf file with "security = user" and "workgroup = mylittlegroup".
A "cat /var/log/samba/nmbd.log" shows many messages that look like this:
[2005/12/19 16:22:45, 0]
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 MYLITTLEGROUP<1b> for the
workgroup MYLITTLEGROUP.
Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup.
And every once in a while, there is a line that says my Linux box is now a
local master browser.
I've gone through all the online documentation that I can find. Can anyone
tell me what might be going wrong here and how to fix it?
Thanks!
Thom
