Hi! I need to add static entries to my Samba 3.0.9 WINS server but I can't. Let's explain: The "Samba Collection Howto" chapter "Network Browsing" , section "Static WINS Entries" tells that I can edit my "wins.dat" file (/opt/samba/var/locks/wins.dat) to set the TTL of some entries to 0 . No matter if I edit the TTL of some existing entries

Hi, I'm using samba 3.0.7 as file server and WINS server. We have a primary domain called BIKER which is working great. Anyhow, for some testing purpose we are using different Workgroups now and then. The problem is, those Workgroups stay in the "Network Neighborhood" although they are offline for quite a while. When I'm moving a Workstation from a workgroup to the domain, it

Hi, This is a question regarding WINS in Samba 4 I need to add a permanent record to the WINS database in Samba I'm using Samba 4.1.17+dfsg-2+deb8u1 in Debian 8 According to this document: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba3-HOWTO/tdb.html There are two files where the WINS records are stored: wins.dat which is re-created upon restart, and wins.tdb which is meant to be the

My wins.dat seems to be rather out of date. I'm running Samba 2.2.2 as a wins server with dhcp. When the client address changes, Samba doesn't seem to update wins. The clients are Win2k & WinXP. In the manual page, it suggests that I shouldn't change the max/min ttl parameters. Can I hook dhcp to samba somehow? Rebooting the out of date clients triggered Samba to update

Hello. I have problem. I dont understand root of this problem and I say facts: Have samba wins-server and many win-clients and two samba-clients. At wins-server in browse.dat exists all clients, in wins.dat once in 2-3 days records about samba-clients is not available. In smb.conf at samba-clients exist this param:"remote announce = IP_of_wins_server" In log of wins-server:

Hi all, We have a weird problem, Samba is providing an outdated IP address for a client (XP Pro) machine. This means that the client machine is not contactable by the other machines on the network. The IP is that which was previously used when connecting via the company VPN, although the machine has/is now plugged onto the company network and had has new IP via DHCP. This problem continues

I've recently setup an iSCSI portal on my network and have taken some servers offline. However, due to the requirements of certain software programs I need to use UNC paths. I was able to fix this issue by adding CNAME into my DNS. I'm still finding that certain programs still require to view the browse list to find the appropriate server. Since CNAME doesn't link to the

I have following smb.conf: hosts deny = all hosts allow = 192.168.x.0/32 127.0.0.1/32 name resolve order = wins lmhosts hosts bcast interfaces = 192.168.x.y/32 127.0.0.1/32 socket address = 192.168.x.y bind interfaces only = yes disable netbios = yes remote browse sync = 192.168.x.255

Hi all. I want to add static entries to wins.I look over the book <Samba-HOWTO-Collection> for the v3.2 of samba. That tell me "All you have to do is add a line to wins.dat". I try this. But we should shutdown the nmbd,and then start nmbd. I want to stop the service. What can I do with samba4 or 3??

Hi, I'm trying to add static entries to the wins.dat file, as per The Official Samba 3 How-to guide but can't get it to work. If I add entries and just leave it be, the server responds with unknown host and If I restart nmbd it removes all the entries (static) that I manually added. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug ? Brett

I am trying to use static wins entries, as stated in the Official Samba Howto Collection. One Samba server (VServer) is with wins service enabled. Another (Server1) is not, but it has the wins server in its smb.conf. When I set wins.dat at VServer: "SERVER1#00" 0 192.168.6.231 192.168.1.231 66R "SERVER1#03" 0 192.168.6.231 192.168.1.231 66R "SERVER1#20" 0

Hi. This morning I had to change 'netbios name' on Samba PDC. After that I restarted samba. Now I have noticed I have two wins entries pointing to same IP address, one with old netbios name, other with new netbios name. Deleting wins.dat and restarting samba does not solve the issue. Deleting entries related to old netbios name from wins.dat and restarting samba does not solve the

Hi folks, i've a question about the ttl, which my wins hook script gets from smbd4wins: I record many entries with extrem high ttls like refresh $SERVER 20 1181977528 $IPADDRS... the ttl of 1181977528 means ~13.000 days which is very long. if i look into the ldb itself, there's an expiry time of ~ 24days (16.06.2007). ---- dn: name=$SERVER,type=0x20 [...] expireTime:

Hi all: I'm not sure where to begin. My setup here is Samba Version 2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix acting as wins for a bridged OpenVPN network (if you know what that means). The net consists of 1 subnet (10.0.0.0/24). The OpenVPN Linux box also runs Samba, ip 10.0.0.110. There are 2 other windows/linux boxes "behind" the VPN server. There are "guests" (Road Warriors)

Hi, we are having a problem for registering names for Win NT servers. Sometimes they appear in the wins.dat file, but they disappear after a time. This causes that the server rejects user logins. Can you tell me with wich version can I solve that?. Please tell me if you need further information. The version is previous to the 3.X. Do you have any information regarding versions? Best regards,

Is it possible to manually add entries to the WINS database on a Samba nmbd running as a WINS server? Alternativily could I get the WINS nmbd to use DNS for hostsnames it can't resolve using it's own database. I have several NT servers that seem to just vanish from the db after a while. One of my 2.2.3a boxes also did this for a pastime. Whilst I can do nbtstat -RR on NT or restart

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

I've exactly the same problem. My config looks similar to yours: 1 samba as wins server (wins support=yes" on one segment, 1 samba as "wins server client" (wins server = xxx). The "wins server client" never discards machines from segment 1. I looked at the browse.dat and the wins.dat on the server on segment 1. There are no entries of the shutdowned maschines. Only in

Here is the problem: Installed Debian Woody Installed Samba 3.02a-1 Setup Samba Setup Network to use Static IP address (Being a PDC / WINS Server and all...)

Hi, I'm wondering how to setup my DNS server (BIND 9.1.1) to read a zone from my wins.dat file. Is there a script I can use, or is there some other way to do it? I'm a linux newbie so a lot of info helps! Thanks, Jeff Nichols -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed
