Update of /data/cvs/samba/source/nmbd
In directory samba:/tmp/cvs-serv24157

Modified Files:
	nmbd_mynames.c nmbd_namelistdb.c 
Log Message:
set a maximum name refresh time of 20 minutes.

The previous code was strictly correct, but not very practical. self
names were only refreshed every 3 days. I hit a situation where the
Samba WINS server was restarted after deleting wins.dat and didn't
notice some remote subnets (also running Samba). I realised that the
complete database wouldn't have been rebuilt for 3 days, which is way
too long. In order to recover from WINS restarts we need a much
shorter maximum refresh time.
