Hello everybody! I want to build up a micro-linux distribution. The Linux-Client is supposed to be in a WINS-Only-Environment. There is no DNS. As I read the FAQs, manuals of WINS and Samba it always tells about adding the wins server = a.b.c.d in the smb.conf to allow WINS-resolution. Actually I couldn't find anything about _how_ to send a "name registration request". So if anyone could tell me with what command I do a "name registration request" that would be great. I think I don't need the nmbd and smbd for that. But what tool is responsible for doing the "name registration request"? As this is the only thing I need to do with samba (register to a WINS-Server) it would be very helpful to know the following two things What command do I have to run, to do the registration? Is it possible just to compile a compact version of Samba only holding the programs I need for that task? Any help would be great. Thanks a lot in advance, Sascha.
