Hi, another problem about Netbios: On an samba 3.0 a20 machine, when the Netbios End-Node is configured as a B-node, that means it doesn't use the Wins to register the Netbios names but use the broadcast to do it, the domain group name (DomainName#1C) is not registered. So, if we have not the Wins server we'll have some problems??

Samba does not conform to RFC1001/1002. Samba conforms to Microsoft's implementations (which also do not conform to RFC1001/1002). Even so, Samba should send release notifications to the WINS server *if* is is shut down correctly. If we are not doing that, then we have a (small) problem. I've been getting some interesting information from a friend showing that the W2K WINS implementation does a *very* bad job with Name Service packets. Related to some work on jCIFS that Mike is doing, he's shown me that W2K WINS sends malformed Negative Name Query Response messages. In some cases, the reply does not contain an Answer Record (which is required by the RFCs). In others, if there is an expired entry in the WINS database, W2K WINS will send an incorrect Negative Name Query Response containing the IP address from the expired entry. The IP should *not* be there. So, at one level, the problem for Samba is to handle the badly-formed messages being sent by Windows. It is a long-shot, but it *may* be that nmblookup is reporting results based on these incorrect messages from WINS. I would need an Ethereal trace, or a system to test against, to find out more.
