Hi Samba Users, I'm using a typical Samba/LDAP Solution. My PDC is running samba 3.0.14a on RHEL4. This is also my acting WINS server. WINS resolution appears to be working fine for all other PC's on the network. It works for my BDC, and Domain member servers and the various windows clients on the network. However WINS does not appear to work on the PDC itself. On the pdc i have the following line in nsswitch.conf: hosts: files wins dns The following output from log.nmbd show an unsuccessful wins lookup by the PDC (in reverse using tac). I can see CELCZPDC<00> clearly in the wins.dat file: find_name_on_subnet: on subnet 192.0.2.14 - name CELCZPDC<00> NOT FOUND [2005/05/24 09:43:09, 9] nmbd/nmbd_namelistdb.c:find_name_on_subnet(129) -1 == memcmp( "CELCZPDC<00>", "CELDC<00>", 84 ) nmbd_subnetdb:namelist_entry_compare() [2005/05/24 09:43:09, 10] nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:namelist_entry_compare(69) -1 == memcmp( "CELCZPDC<00>", "CELDC<03>", 84 ) nmbd_subnetdb:namelist_entry_compare() [2005/05/24 09:43:09, 10] nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:namelist_entry_compare(69) 1 == memcmp( "CELCZPDC<00>", "CEL<1e>", 84 ) nmbd_subnetdb:namelist_entry_compare() [2005/05/24 09:43:09, 10] nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:namelist_entry_compare(69) -1 == memcmp( "CELCZPDC<00>", "CELDC<20>", 84 ) nmbd_subnetdb:namelist_entry_compare() [2005/05/24 09:43:09, 10] nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:namelist_entry_compare(69) 1 == memcmp( "CELCZPDC<00>", "CEL<1d>", 84 ) nmbd_subnetdb:namelist_entry_compare() [2005/05/24 09:43:09, 10] nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c:namelist_entry_compare(69) process_name_query_request: Name query from 192.0.2.14 on subnet 192.0.2.14 for name CELCZPDC<00> [2005/05/24 09:43:09, 3] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_query_request(454) Here is a copy of my smb.conf : # Global parameters [global] dos charset = 850 unix charset = ISO8859-1 workgroup = CEL server string = SAMBA-LDAP %v PDC Server interfaces = lo, eth0 bind interfaces only = Yes passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1 enable privileges = Yes passwd program = /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd -u %u log level = 1 auth:3 winbind:5 passdb:5 name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast printcap name = CUPS add user script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-useradd -m "%u" delete user script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-userdel "%u" add group script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-groupadd -p "%g" delete group script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-groupdel "%g" add user to group script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -m "%u" "%g" delete user from group script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-groupmod -x "%u" "%g" set primary group script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-usermod -g "%g" "%u" add machine script = /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u" logon script = scripts\celmap.bat logon path logon home domain logons = Yes preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes wins support = Yes ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=cel,dc=org ldap delete dn = Yes ldap group suffix = ou=Groups ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers ldap passwd sync = Yes ldap suffix = dc=cel,dc=org ldap user suffix = ou=People remote announce = 192.168.2.2 idmap backend = ldap:ldap://127.0.0.1 idmap uid = 10000-15000 idmap gid = 10000-15000 winbind separator = + winbind use default domain = Yes winbind trusted domains only = Yes printer admin = Administrator I need wins to work on the PDC to implement trusted domains . Anyone got any idea's as to what could be wrong. regards, -- Ian Clancy IT Systems Engineer Connaught Electronics Ltd. Dunmore Rd, Tuam, Co. Galway, Ireland.
