samba - Oct 1998 - Question on force user & log messages

I am running samba on HP-UX 10.20 with clients on Win95.
I have two questions.

Where can I get more information on the force user parameter?
I am using it but am unable to get it to properly prompt for
a password when mapping it.

Next question deals with log messages in log.nmb.  Where are these
two messages coming from and how do I get rid of them?
--IP address changed to XXX.XX.XX.XX

process_name_registration_request: unicast name registration request received
for name 2103DH
<00> from IP XXX.XX.XX.XX on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET. Error - should be sent
to WINS server
process_name_refresh_request: unicast name registration request received for
name 2103DH<03>
from IP XXX.XX.XX.XX on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET. Error - should be sent to WINS
server


Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Elizabeth

"force user" does not force a specific user to login but forces Samba
to behave
like being this user when using the share.

Example:
    force user = robert
    valid user = liz

The only one who can connect to this share is the user "liz", but when
your create
files on this share, they will get the owner "robert".

Stop XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX thinking the samba machine were the WINS server or stop
Samba
thinking there were another WINS server on your net.

Hasta la vista,
