    i have an NT4 server and a linux samba server. the NT4 server is
    currently the WINS server. it works perfectly. i want to ditch it and
    use my samba server as the WINS server, however WINS simply does not
    work. could this be becuase the WINS server also needs to be the
    local
    master browser?
    here is the global section of my smb.conf
    [global]
            workgroup = laboratory
            os level = 2
            kernel oplocks = No
            security = user
            encrypt passwords = Yes
            guest account = Nobody
            map to guest = Bad User
    in this config samba will not win browser elections. I know the NT4
    machine will win all browser elections, it's the only difference i
    can
    think of.
