I'm sure that I'm not the first person to begin integrating SAMBA's WINS server abilities and the new BIND 8 'dynamic' DNS functionality. I downloaded the sample copy of "dns_update" by Stephen Rothwell <sfr@linuxcare.com> which provided a good starting point for creating the interface between Samba 2.0.6's WINS update notification and dynamic DNS updates. I have hopefully expanded and improved on the usefullness of the update feature by 'fattening up' the script to take a lot more instances into account. BUT, as I read thru my update log, I'm beginning to wonder how many different 'types' of WINS updates can actually take place. I've now taken into account the 'broadcast' (255.255.255.255) entries that appear on 'GROUP' notifications and filtered them out, but I'd like to know where I could get a complete list and 'order' of events that WINS reacts to and will forward update entries to my script for (i.e. for what circumstance does WINS output a 'delete' operation for a workstation '00' entry)... P.S. Where should I forward and/or attach a copy of my "dns_update" script, and is anyone interested in seeing how my 'local' private net is configured for DNS/WINS/DHCP ? -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

I had the same problem, but it went away after fixing this. For what it's worth, 2.0.6 now works ok for me under 10.20 and 11.00. Seems to be okay for Win95/98/NT4 (though unfortunately, we're not using encrypted passwords). c -- Clifford Green Internet - green@umdnj.edu Academic Computing Services UMDNJ-IST Be careful.

I have a secure physical network and plenty of scripts that manipulate the /etc/passwd (or shadow) files. So my best choice is to have smb authentication done with /etc/shadow. I couldn't find how to make win9x/NT not encrypt the passwds. I'm rather new to NT and don't know my way around it very well, I have already begun to hate it! but I have no choice. How can I config 9x/NT not to encrypt the passwd? Thanx S. Merat
