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

I'm trying to set up cross-subnet browsing using Samba on a Linux box and a Sparc UltraEnterprise with Win95 and NT Workstation clients. I'm using the Sparc as the domain master and also as the WINS server on the 108 subnet. The Linux box is the local master on the 46 subnet. Both are running Samba 1.9.17alpha4. I can see the conversation between the two samba servers and the browse

If I have a client that wants to enumerate and access shares on a subnet, and that client knows the IP of the WINS server, is there any need for the client to use the "browsing" services of a DMB or LMB? What is the order of operations of the client? Here is what I imagine to be the case: 1. client asks LMB for a list of all available shares 2. LMB sends client the list of all known

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

Been experimenting with Samba as a WINS server. Need a WINS server as I am using VPN tunneling. My goal was to set up a central WINS server and have all the computers talk to it for NetBIOS name resolution. In the end I was hoping to have only one Samba server. I have currently worked with: Samba 2.2.7B on a uclinux. Samba 3.0.10 on RedHat. Samba 3.0.10 on Slackware. Samba 3.0.10 on FreeBSD.

I have 2 subnets. Subnet 1 has an NT WINS server. Subnet 2 has a Samba server acting as domain master browser and local master browser for a workgroup. If I view the network neighborhood from a Win 95 PC on Subnet 1 (call it PC_A), I can see all the hosts in the workgroup on both subnets. If I view the network neighborhood from a Win 95 PC on Subnet 2 (call it PC_B), I cannot see PC_A. I

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??

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

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

On my RedHat Cluster I am trying to configure samba shares that can be relocated or fail over from one node to anoter. This is done by: 1. mounting the corresponding file system on the node from SAN 2. having the cluster assign the corresponding virtual ip number to that node 3. I tried to run an aditional instance of samba for that share ( See posting: "security = domain -- samba adds its

I have enabled WINS support in samba and all client machines has WINS server IP configured that points to the samba server. Problem: When a browsning the network from a client I can only see a some nodes(or none at all) in WORKGROUPS Y and Z. Usally it takes 10-20

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
