In the german magazin iX was an article about samba and they have a good
diagramm about this. I says:
The net consists of multiple broadcast-domains
--> no
no wins server necessary, but possible; no domain master browser
necessary
--> yes
wins server necessary; one local masterbrowser for each subnet
necessary; one domain masterbrowser necessary
Does a WinNT primary domaincontroller exist in the subnet?
--> yes
in the subnet of the PDC:
wins server = <ip nr>
os level = 0
preffered master = no
local master = no
domain master = no
in the other subnet
wins server = <ip nr>
os level = 65
preffered master = yes
local master = yes
domain master = no
--> no
Samba as domain masterbrowser ?
--> yes
in one subnet:
wins support = yes
os level = 65
preffered master = yes
local master = yes
domain master = yes
in the other subnet
wins server = <ip nr>
os level = 65
preffered master = yes
local master = yes
domain master = no
--> no
wins server = <ip nr>
os level = 0
preffered master = no
domain master = no
Hope this helps,
Martin
