samba - May 2005 - Samba-3 by Example Exercise 2.3

The FAQ (question/answer 2) says that the DHCP server config 
/etc/dhcpd.conf) automatically provides each client with the IP address of 
the WINS server.  I've been over the provided dhcpd.conf, and I cannot find 
which line(s) are referring to the WINS server.

Also, as written, when I tried to start my dhcpd, I got an error saying I 
had to specify a ddns-update-style.  I wound up adding at the top the 
following:
         ddns-update-style interim;
         ignore client-updates;

This has worked well, so far.

Government programs provide enough to keep you alive, but they don't offer 
any hope of living your dreams.

The ISC dhcpd has changed a little over the past year.

The executioner has often been kinder than government programs.
