ghost machines, revisited

[Keith Warno]

OK I think I've got it cleaned up.

On each of the sambs servers I nuked all files in /var/cache/samba/ and 
restarted the daemons, starting with the WINS box.

It appears the problem was incorrect usage of "remote browse sync" by 
some of the samba master browsers.  They were configured to sync with 
the WINS server and being all the SMB boxes on this context are in the 
same workgroup, this "remote browse sync" was unecessary.  Somehow the 
ghost machines would linger around in one of the boxes' browse lists and 
then get forcefully synced up with the WINS server, thus tainting the 
lists everywhere.

This is only a theory.  :)
