Hi!

I have a samba file server (192.168.1.2) and wins server (192.168.1.2)
with ~70 clients. The server's netbios names are ALMA and KORTE. The
Workgroup's name is ALMA.

Issue 1:
--------

nmblookup -U 192.168.1.2 -R korte
querying korte on 192.168.1.2
192.168.1.2 korte<00>

nmblookup -U 192.168.1.2 -R alma
querying alma on 192.168.1.2
255.255.255.255 alma<00>

strange.... I can't figure out why the reply is different.

In the log the only problem is:

[2003/07/20 23:28:47, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_nameregister.c:register_name_response(109)
  register_name_response: server at IP 192.168.1.2 rejected our name
registration of ALMA<00> with error code 5.
[2003/07/20 23:28:47, 0] nmbd/nmbd_mynames.c:my_name_register_failed(40)
  my_name_register_failed: Failed to register my name ALMA<00> on
subnet UNICAST_SUBNET.
[2003/07/20 23:28:47, 0]
nmbd/nmbd_namelistdb.c:standard_fail_register(290)
  standard_fail_register: Failed to register/refresh name ALMA<00>
on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET

wins.dat:
"ALMA#00" 1059038250 255.255.255.255 a6R
"ALMA#03" 1058996940 192.168.1.2 46R
"ALMA#1b" 1059038250 192.168.1.2 46R
"ALMA#1e" 1059079005 255.255.255.255 c6R
"ALMA#20" 1058996940 192.168.1.2 46R

Can i delete file wins.dat at midnight, to have a clean state?

Issue 2:
--------

smbclient -L //vogelburda
I see lots of machine name's, and
        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
         ALMA                  KORTE

But:
nmblookup '*'
querying * on 192.168.1.255
192.168.1.2 *<00>
192.168.1.5 *<00>

Why only 2 ip-s (all machine is on subnet 192.168.1.x)?

Thanks in advance!!!
