I would like one of our Linux/Samba servers to always be the master browser for our workgroup. Any advice on how to do this?
 
Adding something like this to your smb.conf should do it.

preferred master = yes
os level = 40
 
OK, I've done that and also set "domain master = yes" for good measure and sure enough the master browser is now nailed to the samba server. Thanks
