Ah! That senseation!

My dns_update script called by wins hook is as follows:

#!/bin/sh
#

DOMAIN=morrison.iserv.net.

#
# The DNS TTL to give the records (in seconds)
#
TTL=3600
#
# NETBIOS name types that we want to create DNS records for:
#
20 is server
#
00 is workstation
#
03 is user
#
USEFUL_TYPES="20 00"
#
# The name of a cache file to use to avoid continual updates
# of the same name and IP addresses.  If you comment this out
# then the cache is not kept at all.
#
#CACHE_FILE=/usr/local/samba/var/wins_update.cache

if [ $# -lt 4 ]; then
	echo "Usage: $0 op name type ttl [ip_addr ...]" 1>&2
	echo "       op is one of add, refresh, delete" 1>&2
	echo "       name is the NETBIOS name" 1>&2
	echo "       type is the NETBIOS name type" 1>&2
	echo "       ttl is the NETBIOS time to live" 1>&2
	echo "       ip_addr's are the remaining IP addresses for this name" 1>&2
