Preferred Master setting as template
« on: September 11, 2009, 03:37:16 PM »
Hi,
got some network problems with a firewall (already solved) related to election of master browser, my question is why there is no setting for preferredmaster in smb.conf in SME7. In SME8 there is a template (11preferredmaster) that generates this entry. Already checked on a clean SME7 install no entry for preferred master.

It is, but in a later version I guess, that is not yet released. SME Server 7 and SME Server 8 have a different release policy since SME Server 8 is still beta.
