It's set for tdbsam.  I've not got that set up right, though, according 
to the smbd log.  I've frankly walked away from this problem, though, 
until I get DNS resolution running.  My WINS does seem to be, tested 
with nsswitch set solely to wins.  Now it's set back to hosts: files dns 
wins.  I've been in log.nmbd, log.smbd, log.winbindd, and smbd.  Smbd 
yells about "Unable to open TDB rid database!"  There's a pretty clear 
hint; I just haven't had time to pursue it.

It is, though: hosts: files dns wins

Agree on both.  I still need to study John's post, but I'm concentrating 
on getting DNS to work for now.  WINS does seem to be working.
