You could put a static entry into wins.dat file ( /var/locks/wins.dat )...
We had to do that for a similar situation where our samba BDC doesn't
broadcast at all.

for some strange reason, our wins servers occasionally drop samba
servers out of there name space. to deal with this, I cron'ed a
restart of samba at midnight everynight. This was a quick solution,
but a lousy one.

I would rather have some way to have samba regularly send name
registration requests to wins. Is there a way to do this?

barring that, is there some interface I can query on samba before
sending it a kill signal to make sure there are no open files? I would
like a 'gracefull' way to have samba resatart.
