Hi there,

does anyone know what following error-message means ? This message returns any 4 minutes for any client
in the lan:

-->
Oct 21 10:03:18 TE-WET01 nmbd[16353]: [2002/10/21 10:03:18, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(183)

Oct 21 10:03:18 TE-WET01 nmbd[16353]:   Error - should be sent to WINS server
<--

I've tried it with older and newer versions of samba (2.2.1a -> 2.2.5) - but the same messages appaers in /var/log/messages.
Hope anyone can help me ...

My environment:
Samba 2.2.4
Linux SuSE 7.2 / Kernel 2.4.16
Clients: Win9x (including Outlook)
