- From the 'beloved' smb.conf manpage:
max ttl (G)
This option tells nmbd(8) what the default ?time to live? of
NetBIOS names should be (in seconds) when nmbd is requesting a
name using either a broadcast packet or from a WINS server. You
should never need to change this parameter. The default is 3
days.
Default: max ttl = 259200
max wins ttl (G)
This option tells smbd(8) when acting as a WINS server (wins
support = yes) what the maximum ?time to live? of NetBIOS names
that nmbd will grant will be (in seconds). You should never need
to change this parameter. The default is 6 days (518400 sec?
onds).
Default: max wins ttl = 518400
These parameters do not affect you directly, but which is
clear is that "You should never need to change these paramenters".
AIUI, you should fix the problem of your WINS server DB
losts, instead of changing the TTL of WINS (I'm afraid that it
could impact in the network structure of other clients).
Kind regards,
