[Samba] Samba 3.0 pdc and winxp

[Richard Houston]

Thanks for the reply,

I have the wins set to yes and I am seeing wins entries int he
/var/cache/samba/wins.dat if that helps.

In looking around it would seem that I do not have a libnss_wins.o or
libnss_wins.0.2 installed anywhere in the system. Would this be the root
of this issue.

Also is there anything special that needs to be done to Winxp to get it to
join a Samba 3.0 PDC?
