From 055e3c88e6d88bd7dee5ae9c87dc04433124f660 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Tridgell Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1998 04:19:31 +0000 Subject: set a maximum name refresh time of 20 minutes. The previous code was strictly correct, but not very practical. self names were only refreshed every 3 days. I hit a situation where the Samba WINS server was restarted after deleting wins.dat and didn't notice some remote subnets (also running Samba). I realised that the complete database wouldn't have been rebuilt for 3 days, which is way too long. In order to recover from WINS restarts we need a much shorter maximum refresh time.
