[Samba] Re: nmbd multihomed registration request must be directed at aWINS server error

[Dylan Cuthbert]

mm.. no response, so I'll reply to myself :-)

I think this error seemed to be caused by my entry of a server name into the
"WINS Server" field, even though WINS support was turned off.  Any idea why?
Deleting the name seemed to stop the warning/error cropping up.
