Force Server to win the Windows browser election
I'm not sure about Samba on OS X, but I run Samba as a PDC (on FreeBSD) here at the company I work for, and we have Windows 98 - Windows XP clients, and we have the OS level set to 255 and have NEVER seen a problem with Samba not winning the master browser.

I imagine your lack of browser election problems stems from the fact that you have made the Samba server the PDC. In the Windows world, the PDC always wins no matter what.

What you're really looking for are the 'master browser' and 'os level' parameters in your smb.conf file (usually at /private/etc/smb.conf). The apple supplied smb.conf doesn't have these parameters in by default. You should really check out the documentation at samba.org. Having to change registry keys on each client machine is flat-out wrong! Plus, it's a lot of work.

...additionally: set up a Win 2K server with Active Directory (yes, even if it's the only server). It'll always win then. |
