- <listitem><para>When Samba is running as a WINS server this
- allows you to call an external program for all changes to the
- WINS database. The primary use for this option is to allow the
- dynamic update of external name resolution databases such as
- dynamic DNS.</para>
-
- <para>The wins hook parameter specifies the name of a script
- or executable that will be called as follows:</para>
-
- <para><command moreinfo="none">wins_hook operation name nametype ttl IP_list
- </command></para>
-
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem><para>The first argument is the operation and is one
- of &quot;add&quot;, &quot;delete&quot;, or &quot;refresh&quot;. In most cases the operation can
- be ignored as the rest of the parameters provide sufficient
- information. Note that &quot;refresh&quot; may sometimes be called when the
- name has not previously been added, in that case it should be treated
- as an add.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>The second argument is the NetBIOS name. If the
- name is not a legal name then the wins hook is not called.
- Legal names contain only letters, digits, hyphens, underscores
- and periods.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>The third argument is the NetBIOS name
- type as a 2 digit hexadecimal number. </para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>The fourth argument is the TTL (time to live)
- for the name in seconds.</para></listitem>
-
- <listitem><para>The fifth and subsequent arguments are the IP
- addresses currently registered for that name. If this list is
- empty then the name should be deleted.</para></listitem>

- <para>An example script that calls the BIND dynamic DNS update
- program <command moreinfo="none">nsupdate</command> is provided in the examples
- directory of the Samba source code. </para>
