[Samba] Group mapping problem - please help

[Rubens Cunha]

Hi,

That may be a name resolution problem.
If you want samba to be the wins server add the following to the global
options:

wins support = yes

If you want samba to use another wins server add the following to the global
options (with the IP of you wins server)

wins server = 129.22.4.10

Regards,

Rubens
