samba - Sep 1997 - wins server used?

My Samba box registers with the WindowsNT WINS server OK, but is doesn't
use it for name resolution. Is there a way to make Samba use WINS for
address discovery?

yes it should, unless there's a bug, unless you've set "wins
support =
yes" AND "wins server = ip.address.of.NT.WINS_server"

fix the code?

luke

I am using Samba 1.9.17.
Here are the global settings in my smb.conf:

[global]
dead time = 5
printing = bsd
printcap name = /etc/printcap
guest account = nobody
invalid users = root
workgroup = nps.staff
domain master = yes
domain logons = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 33
security = user
wins server = 10.52.16.2
wins support = no
wins proxy = no
server string = Staff Server
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY
logon script = connect.bat
logon path = \\%L\%U\winprefs
veto files = /.AppleDesktop/Network Trash Folder/
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
read prediction = yes
load printers = no
time server = yes
map archive = no
password level = 2
include = /usr/local/samba/lib/webshares
---------------------------------------------------

I'll take a look at the source.

Thanks.
