Much less difficult than anything else involved here; it's just plain old good practice, will save you a headache or two down the road. And if you want non-static netbios resolution you need WINS. > By the way, people on #samba seemed surprised by the fact that I > needed to install the winbind packet to gain access to ls > /lib/lib_wins.so.2.

I mentioned this in a post last year sometime. Thought it was odd as well but no replies were forthcoming. If you compile samba w/o winbind you don't get the needed library. You don't have run winbind, but you need to compile samba that way. > I should have definitely stated this from the start.

Frankly I would just hardcode the hosts and lmhosts files (they should be identical) on both OS's. Way too fast and easy for that setup. -- Chris -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
