Plus I have couple of other questions. TIA. I have three SMB servers (all samba) on a heterogenous network consisting of four segments. Two segments contain only a single RH6.2 server each (samba-2.0.6), the other two segments are populated by win9x and NT5 workstations, plus one FreeBSD 4.3 box (samba-2.2). I wanted to see the RH servers in win32 machines' "Network Neighborhood"s; to achieve this, I enabled the WINS server functionality in one of the RHs' nmbd, and set the other values accordingly. FreeBSD: inet x.y.143.102 netmask 0xfffffff0 broadcast x.y.143.111 workgroup = WGRP os level = 64 preferred master = True local master = Yes domain master = False wins server = x.y.139.4 RedHat: inet addr:x.y.139.4 Bcast:x.y.139.7 Mask:255.255.255.248 workgroup = WGRP os level = 65 preferred master = yes local master = yes domain master = yes wins support = yes (The other RH box is irrelevant so far, I leave it alone for the moment.) So, I guess my question is: is this actually the way I should go? Also, where can I set how often the WINS server (if I got it right and this is the way it works) recollects the browsing list? It haven't updated "server string" of the FBSD box for at least six hours now. (Without WINS, any config changes on the samba server were immediately visible.) Another question: the FreeBSD box has the [Printers] service disabled, but it shows up in the machine's share listing anyway.
