[awilliam at estate2 awilliam]$ nmblookup -U 192.168.1.9 -R 'sardine#20'
querying sardine on 192.168.1.9
192.168.1.12 sardine<20>

Of course, it is all working perfectly right now. :(

My feelings exactly.

[root at littleboy samba]# grep -i sardine wins.dat
"SARDINE#00" 1066933505 192.168.1.12 64R
"SARDINE#03" 1066933505 192.168.1.12 64R
"SARDINE#20" 1066933506 192.168.1.12 64R
[root at littleboy samba]#

I'll check again if/when it stops working.
