[nflug] duplicate name - samba ldap winxp

[Eric Benoit]

I have done what you said numerous times..

everytime I change the netbios name the Ldap/samba server accepts it and 
adds it as a machine to my ldap directory, but when the computer 
restarts I get ... A duplicate name exists on the network


currently, I'm trying a new approach... I'm thinking that the fully 
qualified name of the machine is being rejected by samba and thus making 
the machine look like it is the domain example:

I change machine name to ROOM1 for domain LDAPLINUX
   LDAPLINUX accepts this name and adds it to the ldap directory ...just 
like adding a new machine to an ADS

When the machine restarts some how the name ROOM1 is not seen by the 
LDAPLINUX server and only sees the domain it is trying to join LDAPLINUX 
which some how makes (netbios)LDAPLINUX think the machine is trying to 
be LDAPLINUX and the server wins as browse master

... trying to explain this is complicated for me for obvious reasons :)
