Windows guy here, reaching out for help with FreeBSA/Linux. Every 5 minutes, I’m getting the following messages in my Xigmanas log that seem to be related to Home Assistant:
nmbd: This response was from IP {ip address of Home Assistant}, reporting an IP address of {ip address of Home Assistant}.
nmbd: query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet {ipaddress of Xigmanas} for name {workgroup name}<1d>.
nmbd: [2025/02/16 20:39:17.808178, 0] ../../source3/nmbd/nmbd_namequery.c:109(query_name_response)
Xigmanas & Home Assistant run on separate server, not VMs or anything. This started when I added the Samba Share addon to Home Assistant. I realize this is probably a Home Assistant issue. I’m also checking with Xigmanas forums as well.
After much searching, I found this thread “Samba Multiple (2) responses. Two FreeBSD systems on my network” on forums.freebsd.org The suggestion seems to be setting both Xigmanas & Home Assistant as local master = no, domain master = no, and preferred master = no in the smb4.conf file.
In Xigmanas, Services/Samba AD has always been disabled. Under Services/SMB/Settings, Local Master Browser and Time Server have always been set to no. I’ve tried changing the Interface Selection from All to Lan Only, no effect. I also added the following from the forums.freebsd.com thread to Additional Parameters:
local master = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
No change with this either.
I also found [SOLVED] Disable NMBD LOG MESSAGES on the Xigmanas forums. However, the solve was to add those options to SMB/CIFS of the other server. However, Home Assistant doesn’t have any way to that, as far as I can tell. In Home Assistant Samba Share addon, there’s no settings for local master, domain master, or preferred master. There’s only options for
- SMB username
- password
- workgroup name
- enabled share names
- Samba compatibility mode
- veto files (excluded filenames)
- allowed hosts
Nothing for additional parameters or interface selection.
While digging through both HA forums, I found How do I disable Master Browser for Samba addon? - #3 by Silicon_Avatar, Samba Share Addon insists on being the Master Browser of my network · Issue #1716 · home-assistant/addons · GitHub, and Samba/SMB > Disable Master Browser. Are those related to this same issue, because there’s no way to turn off the HA Samba Share addon trying to get master browser?
