RN102: Disable Master Browser? / 5.244.251.140???
Best / any way to disable Master Browser on RN102?
Also, my netywork is 192.168.1.xxx.
From nmbd.log:
"[2015/12/19 12:43:16.504777, 0] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd_become_lmb.c:397(become_local_master_stage2)
***** Samba name server <redacted> is now a local master browser for workgroup WORKGROUP on subnet 192.168.1.10 *****
[2015/12/19 12:48:25.425455, 0] ../source3/nmbd/nmbd_become_lmb.c:397(become_local_master_stage2)
***** Samba name server <redacted> is now a local master browser for workgroup WORKGROUP on subnet 5.244.251.140 *****"
The entry for 192.168.1.10 is expected.
The 5.244.251.140 is not.
I cannot find anything I have configured on any device on my LAN that is anything other than 192.168.1.xxx.
I can live without an answer to the 5.244.251.140 mystery because it doesn't seem to hurt anything,
but I really need to disable master browser on my RN102.

You can turn off the master browser in the RN102, but it requires ssh.
You need to create a file called /etc/frontview/samba/smb.conf.overrides with the line "local master = no"
To do this from the linux command line, you can type
echo "local master = no" > /etc/frontview/samba/smb.conf.overrides
Then restart the NAS.
