WINS handles machine name resolution and locating domain controllers.
WINS is a legacy of NT4 days when DNS was something for unix users
only. You could probably work around the multiple WINS server issues
by using lmhosts (I had some success with that) but it is probably
simpler to just designate a primary WINS server- since it sounds like
everything is on the same LAN (no multiple subnets or routing.) I never
had luck editing the wins data files.
Winbind handles looking up user accounts in other domains and allocating
them uid and gids in the local domain.
The major advantage of using a Microsoft server as a WINS server is that
it handles WINS replication- which can be useful if you have a routed
network and need multiple WINS servers. I don't know how many clients
a single WINS server can support- if you have under 50 Windows machines
I think you are OK. It is also easier to view entries, add static
entries and purge old entries with a Windows WINS server. But I don't
think that justifies migrating from Samba WINS server if that Samba one
is working fine.

I have four domains in my LAN. I set up trust relationships for the
domains, having each PDC working as wins server for each domain but
I hd not set up winbind. I have samba3-3.3.12 + ldap (openldap
2.4.21) as users backend.
I mean, I have wins support = yes for each PDC, and I can access to
the shared folders of each PDC from any windows computer from my LAN.
The samba docs are pretty clear. In order for interdomain trusts to
work all PDC's must use the same wins server.
I apreciate your time and your answer.
Well, in the samba docs you can also read that the use of interdomain
trusts requires use of winbind, that's why I'm asking.
Well, In the redhat docs, I found also:
"In a mixed NT/2000/2003 server and Samba environment, it is
recommended that you use the Microsoft WINS capabilities."
That's why I'm asking for an advice from people who have more
experience and knowledge.
Thank you,

The problem is accessing to windows PCs from different domains. I
mean, from pc1-domain1 I can't list the shares of pc2-domain2
(access denied), and when I try to connect to \\pc2-domain2\share
the error message is:
\\pc2-domain2 is not accesible
There are currently no logon servers to service the request logon.
Previously I shared the 'share' folder in pc2-domain2 PC and added
permissions for users from domain1 and domain2 successfully.
Trying from a Linux server, a guest try shows:
[user]$ smbclient //pc2-domain2/share
Password:
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[SMINERO] OS=[Windows Server 2003 R2 3790 Service Pack 2]
Server=[Windows Server 2003 R2 5.2]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
Trying using a user account from domain2:
[user]$ smbclient //pc2-domain2/share -U domain2/user
Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS
The domain2 PDC log is:
"domain_client_validate: Domain password server not available.
[2010/06/05 08:43:40, 5] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(272)
check_ntlm_password: winbind authentication for user [xxxxx] FAILED
with error NT_STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS
[2010/06/05 08:43:40, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(318)
check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [xxxxxx] -> [xxxxx]
FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_LOGON_SERVERS".
I tried adding PDC data from the wins.dat file from PDC2 to the
wins.file from PDC1 (and in the other way) but it didn't work. I
have this:
"PDC2#00" 1275960126 172.25.1.24 66R
"PDC2#03" 1275960126 172.25.1.24 66R
"PDC2#20" 1275960126 172.25.1.24 66R
"PDC1#00" 1276005993 172.25.1.8 66R
"PDC1#03" 1276005993 172.25.1.8 66R
"PDC1#20" 1276005993 172.25.1.8 66R
Please, here my questions:
1. Could you please give me an advice for my problem?
2. Should I setup only an only wins server? The one from
samba4wins? Where? In one of the PDCs or in other server?
Thank you,
Pablo Chamorro
