[Samba] Problem with static WINS entries

[Angel Galindo Muñoz]

	Hi!

	I need to add static entries to my Samba 3.0.9 WINS server but I can't. 
Let's explain:



	The "Samba Collection Howto" chapter "Network Browsing" , section 
"Static WINS Entries" tells that I can edit my "wins.dat" file 
(/opt/samba/var/locks/wins.dat) to set the TTL of some entries to 0 . No 
matter if I edit the TTL of some existing entries (self-registered 
clients) or if I insert new lines  to that file : The file "wins.dat" is 
regenerated after it . May be this regeneration is due to network 
browsing...

	This is an example of what I added:
"ONENBTNAME#03" 0 xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt 66R

	Trying, trying ... I've also tried with a "64R" flag (don't know what 
is it) and with the "#20" LanMan Netbios type : No way.




	As I can't make that name resolution work , I have edited my Samba's 
"lmhosts" file (/opt/samba/lib/lmhosts). I have added some entries to 
that file , and they are valid when my server is trying to resolve a 
NETBIOS name (i.e. executing "/opt/samba/bin/smbclient -L 
\\NETBIOS_NAME" on the WINS server), but when my WINS clients ask for 
those Netbios names to my WINS server, the answer is 'Unknown host".




	As you will see in my `testparm` , the "name resolve order" is "host 
lmhost bcast" :

[root at zoquero opt]# /opt/samba/bin/testparm
Load smb config files from /opt/samba-3.0.9/lib/smb.conf

	What amb I doing wrong? Is there any way to add static entries to my 
WINS server? Thanks a lot in advance,
