Jerry,
Thanks for your help.
I followed instructions in:
a. compile libnss_wins.so and install it in /lib
b. modify the smb.conf file to have
wins support = No
wins server = IP-of-a-win-server
c. modify nsswitch.conf file to have
hosts: files wins dns
d. reboot the machine and make sure that smbd is running
But it does not work - ping failed to resolve a WINS name.
The installation is Samba v2.2.3 on a SUN/Solaris v2.6 machine. In
the document, it does not mention support of Solaris platform.
Any idea?
Thanks
James

Thanks.
There is a NSS modules which uses wins (libnss_wins.so).
See the nsswitch/ directory in the Samba source distro.
