[Samba] Samba WINS query

[Stuart Halliday]

I've had Samba 2 running just fine on my REDHAT 8 server and I've just upgraded to V3.04.

It seems to all work but.....

I tried to make it behave as a BDC WINS server as I've got Windows NT4 PDC and BDC servers and I need my Redhat box to act as a backup WINS server.

This I've now done I think.


But when I use WIN Manager from NT it doesn't think the WINS on the Linux box is there.

and if I run 'NBTstat -a linux' on a Windows machine..... 

I get a odd table as no MAC address is given.


           NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table

       Name               Type         Status
    ---------------------------------------------
    LINUX          <00>  UNIQUE      Registered
    LINUX          <03>  UNIQUE      Registered
    LINUX          <20>  UNIQUE      Registered
    ECSTECH        <00>  GROUP       Registered
    ECSTECH        <1E>  GROUP       Registered

    MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00

Is this something to worry about? :-)
