No. But others have. This WINS support library was built on Solaris.

Make sure that you rename nss_wins.so to libnss_wins.so and set links
accordingly.

Also, please check Solaris documentation to find how to bind dynamic link
libaries so that solaris can find them. Do you have an /etc/ld.so.conf
file? Maybe it is in /etc/system.{cnf,conf}. I used to run Solaris X86 and
vaguely remember a file like it.

Also, what happens it you have in your /etc/nsswitch.conf?

hosts: wins dns file,  ie: wins first.

Please show command failure output.
