I've had Samba 2 running just fine on my REDHAT 8 server and I've just
upgraded to V3.04.
It seems to all work but.....
I tried to make it behave as a BDC WINS server as I've got Windows NT4 PDC
and BDC servers and I need my Redhat box to act as a backup WINS server.
This I've now done I think.
But when I use WIN Manager from NT it doesn't think the WINS on the Linux
box is there.
and if I run 'NBTstat -a linux' on a Windows machine.....
I get a odd table as no MAC address is given.
NetBIOS Remote Machine Name Table
Name Type Status
---------------------------------------------
LINUX <00> UNIQUE Registered
LINUX <03> UNIQUE Registered
LINUX <20> UNIQUE Registered
ECSTECH <00> GROUP Registered
ECSTECH <1E> GROUP Registered
MAC Address = 00-00-00-00-00-00
Is this something to worry about? :-)
