[Samba] Re: Simple question on Wins...

[Matthew McCarty]

Depending on your netowrk of course it may not matter which you use if 
you are going to just have one WINS server.  If you are going to have 
more than one, use Win2k - because Samba does not support replication, 
etc. of WINS servers.

Just make sure your client machines point to the right WINS server.

Just something I thought about today really.
Since I am running samba 2.2.8a as a PDC on my network and all of my 
workstations for my clients are Windows 2000 Pro, would it be better to 
set up the PDC to run as a wins server? wins server = yes

I was just curious because I found some documentation on the wins server 
option, but for the most part, it was glossed over with real no 
explanation. Granted, I know what wins purpose is, but would like to 
find out more about better implementation in my network..

Thanks.
