also with smbclient.
just migrated the server from 3.0.23d to 3.2.4 (the old was working ok..)

support = yes. i have another subnet 192.168.101.x where all my client windows
2k/XP/2003/samba clients reside. For some reason the WINs server doesn't
update its entries whenever a client changes IP address -- it still serves up
the previous ip address mapping. This only seems to be a problem with
samba-based clients; i've tried changing ip addresses on windows clients,
and the WINs seems to detect the ip address changes immediately.

returns 192.168.101.1, but an 'nmblookup serverA' returns 192.168.101.2.

edit wins.dat on the WINS/PDC. While it does work well enough, i'm concerned
that this may become a very big problem once i deploy this -- we have around 300
servers/VMs as of writing.
