Hi there,
as it seems NMBD can handle only ONE workgroup at a time.
Here is my config:
- 2 Networks (each a samba server as pdc)
- each network has one workgroup (thus 2 groups together)
- (on-demand) dial-up connection between both networks
- win95/98 as clients.
- ip works excellent, i use use numeric addresses.
- GROUP_A 192.168.138.1 is in /etc/lmhosts on Network B
- GROUP_B 192.168.139.1 is in /etc/lmhosts on Network A
thus any WINS request for GROUP_A on network B should be answered
by WINS-Server on Network B with 192.168.138.1
here is an excerpt from my log.nmbd on SERVER_B
[1999/02/07 21:16:02, 4] libsmb/nmblib.c:debug_nmb_packet(109)

and here is the relevant part of smb.conf on SERVER_B (192.168.139.1)
workgroup = GROUP_B
encrypt passwords = Yes
domain logons = Yes
os level = 33
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
wins proxy = Yes
wins support = Yes
dumping WINS.DAT shows no entry for GROUP_B at all...
so either the WINS/LMHOSTS part is broken or NMBD can really serve
only a single workgroup ...
