This is a message for all those people who replied that setting
interfaces was not necessary. In fact it is neccessary when you use a
Wins server: it seems Samba needs to send its IP address in order to
register with the wins server and that for some reason it will not send
the correct address if you don't set the interfaces parameter in the
smb.conf so Wins will not register it.
So a wish for next version is that Pump writes the parms it gets (both
the Wins server address and the interfaces set) so a trivial scvript
can set the parms in the smb.conf
