samba - Apr 2013 - Static entries NOT working (Debian, Ubuntu)

Hi,

I am trying to add static WINS entries in my Samba server, running on Ubuntu
server.
I read various forums and inputs on this mailing list mentionning the use of
wins.dat which is located at /var/lib/samba/wins.dat
Moreover, the samba.org official doc covers this
(http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetworkBrowsing.html#id2584250)
and also uses wins.dat
The problem is that the entries I add to the file are not resolving, while I can
resolve (I installed winbind) the other entries in it.
I also tried using the lmhost file and provided the file to nmbd with the -H
option, it still doesn't work.

For the moment I simply gave up and installed a WINS server on Windows 2008
Server Entreprise Edtion.

Help would be appreciated. I

Thanks.

I believe you must stop Samba (or at least nmbd) before editing. I use
the #20 entry as well as in:
"MADMAN#20" 0 192.168.1.2 66R

Edit the the entries for all of types and then restart Samba/nmbd:

"MADMAN#00" 0 192.168.1.2 66R
"MADMAN#03" 0 192.168.1.2 66R
"MADMAN#20" 0 192.168.1.2 66R
