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

[Dylan Cuthbert]

Hmm strange.

My samba PDC server is on another machine with WINS support enabled.  So I
should *not* put the ip address of that server in the wins server field on
my non-PDC samba server then?

When I put the address (well, actually, I put the samba name of the PDC) in
that field, I get those errors every five seconds in the nmbd log.

The file server seems to be working fine without the WINS server specified
so do I actually need to specify it?
