samba - Dec 2005 - Query to find if local system is wins server

Hi,
    In smb.conf i have set 
         wins support = no
         netbios aliases  = jack

    Then i restarted smbd and nmbd.
   
    Then execute following command on local system:
       #nmblookup -U 127.0.0.1 -R jack
        querying jack on 127.0.0.1
        10.212.100.101 jack<00> 

    Is this expected output or should command fail to
query for 
    jack as local system is not wins server ?

    If this is EXPECTED output, is there any command
by which
    i can find if local system is wins server ?

thanks,
 kiran

In >= 3.0.21 you can run 'net rpc service status WINS'
