enabling wins server in samba
Doesn't seem to be a way in frontview to enable the wins server support that was in os4.x. From a shell prompt as root this does the trick for me on os6.2.2:
# echo "wins support = yes" > /etc/frontview/samba/smb.conf.overrides
# chown 115:guest /etc/frontview/samba/smb.conf.overrides
I have no idea who 115 was but this is consistent with the other files in this directory.
Then stop and start smb from the frontview UI. You can't edit /etc/samba/smb.conf because that seems to be constantly rewritten by frontview on stop/start.
