Hi All,
Now that I have winbind running and
wins support = yes
in my smb.conf, am I missing something?
Like setting up WINS, configuring it,
populating it, etc.?
Can someone point me to documentation on
what to do (administrate) WINS?
Many thanks,
-T
Have a look here:

Cheers, Günter
Hi Gunter,
Great reference! My wins.dat is located in /var/lock/samba/wins.dat
and it is full of stuff (and now I know where it is located, so I
can back it up).
Also, wins.dat populates itself. (Much easier than bind, which
required "vi" to administrate.)
Thank you!

Hi Ryan,
Upon greater pondering and reading your letter, I do believe
that this database can repopulate itself, if I ever have to do
a restore. I think I was just having a knee jerk reaction:
database must be backed up.
Thank you for the help!
