If I don't put localmaster=yes, here is what I get...   192.168.0.177 
being the linux system.

-------->  Those lines above were not there before.  These messages 
appeared twice after changes ans smb restart at 14:40 and 14:52.  You 
are pretty clever... :-)

Mar 10 14:52:10 P2 nmbd[12163]: [2004/03/10 14:52:10, 0]

Mar 10 14:52:10 P2 nmbd[12163]:   Samba name server P2 has stopped being 
a local master browser for workgroup LOCALDOMAIN on subnet 192.168.0.177

Mar 10 14:52:28 P2 nmbd[12163]:   Samba name server P2 is now a local 
master browser for workgroup LOCALDOMAIN on subnet 192.168.0.177

And

smbclient -L localhost yields to :

Domain=[LOCALDOMAIN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.2-7.FC1]
