[Samba] Problem with static WINS entries

Hi!

I need to add static entries to my Samba 3.0.9 WINS server but I can't. Let's explain:

The "Samba Collection Howto" chapter "Network Browsing" , section "Static WINS Entries" tells that I can edit my "wins.dat" file (/opt/samba/var/locks/wins.dat) to set the TTL of some entries to 0 . No matter if I edit the TTL of some existing entries (self-registered clients) or if I insert new lines to that file : The file "wins.dat" is regenerated after it . May be this regeneration is due to network browsing...

        This is an example of what I added:
"ONENBTNAME#03" 0 xxx.yyy.zzz.ttt 66R

Trying, trying ... I've also tried with a "64R" flag (don't know what is it) and with the "#20" LanMan Netbios type : No way.

As I can't make that name resolution work , I have edited my Samba's "lmhosts" file (/opt/samba/lib/lmhosts). I have added some entries to that file , and they are valid when my server is trying to resolve a NETBIOS name (i.e. executing "/opt/samba/bin/smbclient -L \\NETBIOS_NAME" on the WINS server), but when my WINS clients ask for those Netbios names to my WINS server, the answer is 'Unknown host".

As you will see in my `testparm` , the "name resolve order" is "host lmhost bcast" :

[EMAIL PROTECTED] opt]# /opt/samba/bin/testparm
Load smb config files from /opt/samba-3.0.9/lib/smb.conf

[usuarioprueba]
        comment = Share per l'usuarioprueba
        path = /home/usuarioprueba

What amb I doing wrong? Is there any way to add static entries to my WINS server? Thanks a lot in advance,
