WINS.DAT showing user names as machine's NETBIOS names?

[Kimmo Akkanen]

Hi!

I noticed at the log's that there were a lot of errors sth. like this:

"GetHostByAddr failed for XX.XX.XX.XX"

Samba is version 2.2.1a and is acting as WINS server. I checked the
wins.dat file, and it contained most of the machine names & IP's ok,
but for some there were user names in the places where the machine's
netbios name should be! Any idea's what's causing this behaviour?

Thanks!

With regards,
