Description

Recommend the following changes be made to the [Global] section in smb.conf:
  • Change os level = 60 to os level = 35
  • Add the following:
    • name resolve order = bcast lmhosts host wins
    • domain master = yes

This will eliminate the error below in the /var/log/nmbs.log file:

  Unable to sync browse lists in this workgroup.
[2019/08/22 20:11:09.927547,  0] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:354(find_domain_master_name_query_fail)
  find_domain_master_name_query_fail:
  Unable to find the Domain Master Browser name WORKGROUP<1b> for the workgroup WORKGROUP.

This error occurs quite frequently. Also the changes appear to make Samba work correctly.

Since making these changes manually, I have had no issues and the log messages disappeared.

Researched proper Samba configuration for several days which yielded these proposed changes.

Can you test your samba with windows clients with these settings on the global section?

        vfs objects = catia fruit streams_xattr
        fruit:aapl = yes
        fruit:resource = file
        fruit:metadata = netatalk
        fruit:locking = netatalk
        fruit:encoding = native
        fruit:model = MacSamba

I have been using the errors settings you suggested above for ~24hours and so far so good. However, the master one makes me quite nervous. IIRC it had big big implications.

Added the lines to my HDA. Restarted Samba and so far I don't see any error messages in the logs.

Will monitor over the next 24 hours to see if anything changes.

Checked my HDA today and I don't see any errors from this code.

As a matter of fact, the logs are not showing anything after I added these bits.

Safe to say adding these lines is fine.
