Hi I need to add a static WINS entry to samba because I have an NT4 domain with 1 DC which doesn't seem to be found without a static lmhosts file on the windows clients (even though all machines are on the same subnet - I think the crappy old DC isn't listening or responding properly to broadcast or something). I can't add clients to the domain etc...

In windows the lmhosts file has:
Code:
192.168.1.x   myDC   #PRE   #DOM:DOMAINNAME
192.168.1.x   "DOMAINNAME      \0x1B" #PRE


I don't know what the samba equiv of writing this is and it isn't clear from the docs. I'm not entirely sure if the 1B code can just be used in samba, although I suspect it can if this is a predefined NetBios flag.

Can anybody give me some guidance in this?
