You can do it by just edit the wins.dat file and restart nmbd.
No need to stop smbd while you do that, of course while nmbd is down you
will have some limited functionality (read problems resolving names),
but you should be able to do that in a very short time frame.
Simo.

Is there a way - without killing off Samba - to force a rebuild of the WINS
database that Samba is maintaining?
I've got a couple of completely bogus entries in WINS and I need to get rid
of them, but I can't take the Samba server down to do it. I'm hoping that I
can issue a couple of commands and poof the WINS database is blown away and
it starts to repopulate with good data.
If I *HAVE* to take Samba down then I will but I'd prefer not to.
