[Samba] PDC-BDC Wins Resolution

[Matt Schwartz]

Tomasz, I compiled Samba from the source so I don't think it should 
matter but thanks, anyhow.  I always build certain packages from the 
source.  The issue seems to occur between linux machines and not linux 
to windows.  My WinXP box can resolve both the PDC and the BDC 
effectively.  Likewise, the BDC and PDC can ping the XP box.  But, the 
BDC can't ping the PDC and vice versa.
