[Samba] nmbd and port 135 / dce rpc WINS

These are already open.  I'm pretty sure that  NT4/2003 PDC's make a
DCE/RPC over TCP connection to pull down the <1b> entries from the wins
server.  I have done packet captures on test NT4 wins server to see how
PDC's pull their domain lists, and I see the port 135 three way
handshake, which then gets switched over to a tcp port 1028 which is the
dce/rpc requests and responses.  

I was wondering if this is actually possible with the current samba
code.  

Again any help is appreciated!!!
Thanks,
jamie

According to "netstat -lnp | grep nmbd" ports 137 and 138 (udp) are
used for name queries, so I'd suggest opening them up too, for all
WINS/PDC servers to see if it makes a difference.

Cheers,
