Revision as of 22:10, 12 October 2007
I confess to having a soft spot for WINS...
I appreciate that it is not specifically a Unix-based system but it is useful to those running Samba on FreeBSD as a file server in a Windows based workgroup or domain, so thought I'd get something started. I personally use it to simplify locating my Samba server in the workgroup for my various XBMC systems in order to access music and videos ;-)
I'll finish it off over the week-end and tie it back into Samba articles.
WINS != peer election model
You've got some conceptual errors in here. WINS is not the same thing as the normal peer election workgroup model. While they both accomplish the same idea, they're not directly related - you either do WINS or you do peer elections, not both. --Jimbo 23:10, 12 October 2007 (EDT)
