[Samba] nmbd woes (still)

[mwestern at sola.com.au]

I share your pain.

I've been playing with this very thing and have just joined the list.  I too
have been bashing my head against the wall.

I've been trying to get static mappings to work for quite a while and
finally after much annoyance I've got

[global]
	wins support = yes
	name resolve order = wins dns lmhosts hosts
	dns proxy = yes


then start chucking entries into /etc/hosts and voila it starts to resolve
these static mappings..

here's what I also figured out (whether it's a bug or not).  nmbd WINS
doesn't like having complicated addressing.:

1.  server.  10.160.0.170
		 203.45.56.78

test client.  203.45.56.79 - gw 203.45.56.1
		  10.160.0.50 - WINS 10.160.0.170  

ie secondary address on a winxp machine is the one pointing directory to
wins.  this fails to resolve anything sometimes and other times it does a
few and drops.  as soon as i simplify my IP addressing on the client
ie 10.160.0.50	only it works a treat.  

I've been trying to replace a MS WINS server with a samba one and so far the
microsoft one has been far less pain.  

anyway, this probably won't help your problem, but i felt like a rant...
(also i only got this message just then, no history)....

I've decided that my nmbd must just be "broken".  I configured smbd to be a
wins servier and I can do everything.  The only thing is my samba server
still doesn't appear in the workgroup list.

Comments?
