the "password server" smb.conf parameter when choosing a DC to connect to. Due to the origin of the code in cm_get_dc_name() it wouldn't try additional DCs if the first DC didn't work. This would wedge winbindd if you had "password server = foo1, foo2" and foo1 was down. (This used to be commit fc7ed1b4a8774a6a07a8d8fd08d9d2f15cd5c1dc)
This extension provides a "wins" module for NSS on glibc2/Linux. This allows you to use a WINS entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf for hostname resolution, allowing you to resolve netbios names via start unix gethostbyname() calls. The end result is that you can use netbios names as host names in unix apps. 1) run configure 2) run "make nsswitch" 3) cp nsswitch/libnss_wins.so /lib/libnss_wins.so.2 4) add a wins entry to the hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf 5) use it tridge@linuxcare.com
