Yes. It is possible. We had a tdb backend during early Alpha test - works fine, but we did not have tools to manage static entries and therefore backed it out. If this is really an URGENT issue then file a bug report. If this is just a "nice to have" feature let me suggest that we leave it lie. We have very pressing priorities already. The issues we are working on have for more reaching and penetrating importance than WINS replication and fail-over WINS type concerns. Then again, if you want to code it up and submit to samba-technical then more power to you! - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
