For my client systems, this isn't a problem, as most of them reboot, renew DHCP leases, etc., often enough that they are forced to send WINS updates every day or so. However, I found this morning, 6 days after implementing my Samba WINS server, that my NT4 Domain Controllers do not send updates every 6 days, or at least not in a way that forces Samba to keep the WINS entries in the database. So, is there something I should tweak, either on the Samba side or the NT4 side, that will allow this to work properly? I don't plan on having NT4 around all that much longer, as I'm going to migrate domain control to Samba, but for the time being, I'd like to avoid a repeat.

Try setting the required names to be "sticky" (i.e. infinite ttl) in the wins.dat file
that nmbd reads on startup.

Check out the format of the wins.dat file, modify the
relevent entries ttl.
