[Samba] Renewing WINS entries

Hi,
I may have answered my own question. I found a post
(http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-June/036153.html)
which says that Samba has trouble registering "INet~Services".
What I see is the name apparently getting registered with WINS correctly
on startup and then WINS no longer resolving the name 5 days later.
So what I presume is happening is that the server name is registering
correctly when Windows starts up, the INet~Services name then gets
registered later (when IIS starts?). But 5 days later both names are
registered at the same time and this fails. (Which also explains why
"nbtstat -RR" files).
So:
1. Does the above scenario sound like the explanation?
2. I can't see this being fixed any the release notes, will it get
fixed?
I guess I'm better off using Windows WINS (Broken as Designed (TM))
until Samba implements the Windows bugs correctly...
Thanks,
Leon...
