Are you sure you want SERVER security - it's very rarely appropriate...
read the doc file on that parameter

depending on whether you installed from an rpm or from the source tgz
file wins.dat could show up in various locations
do a search for wins.dat
locate wins.dat
or
find -name wins.dat (if you don't have the locate db running)
did you set up your clients to point to the wins server?
what does the nmbd log say?
