[Samba] NetBIOS over ipsec using samba

[Marian Mlcoch, Ing]

I add info about browsing with only wins browsing all maybe not work.
Wins suplied name to ip resolving system but not browser.
Then in global section of your one samba use
remote browse sync =
as writed in samba man page.

That works if your sambas is master browser on subnets.

Thats all folks.
