Hello together!
I have an problem with the wins server, based on a Gentoo distribution
with Samba 3.0.24.
The problem is following:
After an restart of samba everything works fine, but after an undefined
time period its not possible to make an nmblookup for some other computers.
The samba server is also configured as wins server.
an cut from the smb.conf:
......
domain master = Yes
local master = yes
preferred master = Yes
os level = 255
wins support = yes
#name resolve order = lmhosts wins hosts bcast
name resolve order = lmhosts wins
dns proxy = yes
.....
Here the effect:
smbsrv # nmblookup -U 192.168.1.10 -R 'fileserver'
querying fileserver on 192.168.1.10
192.168.1.20 fileserver<00>
smbsrv # nmblookup -U 192.168.1.10 -R 'vmware'
querying vmware on 192.168.1.10
192.168.1.15 vmware<00>
...
But later the same questions at the same server aren't successful:
smbsrv # nmblookup -U 192.168.1.10 -R 'fileserver'
querying fileserver on 192.168.1.10
name_query failed to find name fileserver
smbsrv # nmblookup -U 192.168.1.10 -R 'vmware'
querying vmware on 192.168.1.10
name_query failed to find name vmware
First question: Why can't find the wins-server some other servers after
an time period?
Second question: Why does samba don't make an dns lookup after
mnblookup was failed?
Here some interesting facts about the log.nmbd:
DNS successfull:

added DNS query for FILESERVER<00>
It seems that he don't find the entry for FILESERVER in the database.
Thanks a lot for an answer or an helpful idea about this problem.
