Hi all.

After set up a BDC, I found a weird problem on my log.nmbd file, the case is that my nmb (on BDC) is not able to connect to the local wins "server", just receive a time out .

I set the wins support = yes which is the only mandatory parameter according to samba doc.

I tried to shut down the firewall even.

The log output is:

=== ....... ===

For another side, I have a quick question, not really important. The case is that I receive from some windows machines which are not into the domain, user login attempts. Obviously these users don't reach to log on:

[2011/02/18 10:47:43.906677, 2] auth/auth.c:314(check_ntlm_password)
check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [Felix] -> [Felix] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER
[2011/02/18 10:47:43.915067, 2] auth/auth.c:314(check_ntlm_password)
check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [Felix] -> [Felix] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USE

But, does anybody know why these machines are sending these login attempts?

Thank everybody in advance.

Set your bdc to wins server= yourpdc (Your PDC must be a samba)
And things will work.
If you want a manageable wins you need to install samba4wins.

Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your answer. I tried your suggestion and it works. The point is that one of reasons that I want the BDC is to have 100% redundadcy with the domain, with this I mean that If the PDC'd fall down, then I would have the BDC 100% up. Thus if the BDC is sharing some services with the PDC I will not get it. I don't know if is possible to have a samba wins in the BDC as I have in the PDC. Do you know it?
