[Samba] Samba WINS Questions

[Vincent Fonteneau]

Finaly WINS problem solved,

WINS replication is used (but I don't know if I can use the expression 
"replication") by entering new parameters in /var/lib/samba/wins.dat 
before starting smb daemon

on BDC1 the wins.dat should goes with :
"MYDOMAIN#00" 1151663528 255.255.255.255 e4R
"MYDOMAIN#1b" 1151589720 192.168.2.71 64R
"MYDOMAIN#1c" 1151663528 192.168.2.71 193.168.2.71 e4R
"MYDOMAIN#1e" 1151663528 255.255.255.255 e4R
"MYPDC#00" 1151589720 192.168.2.71 66R
"MYPDC#03" 1151589720 192.168.2.71 66R
"MYPDC#20" 1151589720 192.168.2.71 66R
"MYBDC1#00" 1151663528 193.168.2.71 66R
"MYBDC1#03" 1151663528 193.168.2.71 66R
"MYBDC1#20" 1151663528 193.168.2.71 66R
"MYBDC2#00" 1151663528 194.168.2.71 66R
"MYBDC2#03" 1151663528 194.168.2.71 66R
"MYBDC2#20" 1151663528 194.168.2.71 66R

on BDCs the wins.dat should goes with :
"MYDOMAIN#00" 1151663528 255.255.255.255 e4R
"MYDOMAIN#1b" 1151589720 192.168.2.71 64R
"MYDOMAIN#1c" 1151663528 192.168.2.71 193.168.2.71 194.168.2.71 e4R
"MYDOMAIN#1e" 1151663528 255.255.255.255 e4R
"MYPDC#00" 1151589720 192.168.2.71 66R
"MYPDC#03" 1151589720 192.168.2.71 66R
"MYPDC#20" 1151589720 192.168.2.71 66R
"MYBDC1#00" 1151663528 193.168.2.71 66R
"MYBDC1#03" 1151663528 193.168.2.71 66R
"MYBDC1#20" 1151663528 193.168.2.71 66R
"MYBDC2#00" 1151663528 194.168.2.71 66R
"MYBDC2#03" 1151663528 194.168.2.71 66R
"MYBDC2#20" 1151663528 194.168.2.71 66R

Then restarting PDC and all BDCs and looking to the log.nmbd. After few 
seconds I could see in the browse.dat and wins.dat all the network goes up.
Finaly, by take a look to the network neighborhood, I can see all the 
computers from MYDOMAIN even if subnets are differents.

I could use one Wins server a site and then according all Wins with PDC.
