I've setup Samba 3.0.4 as a member server on my network. Instead of giving it static DNS and WINS entries, I have it broadcasting Browser packets to announce it's services. The problem is that the packets have a TTL of 0. I've searched through the documentation and on the web for a way to change the TTL, but so far I've only been able to find information on changing the kernel default TTL.

Has anyone else had this issue and found a fix for it?

Would these Samba config options

max ttl = ######
max wins ttl = #####
min wins ttl = #####

from http://www.linuxforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=73091 help?

Unfortunately not. Those set the TTL for WINS client registrations when you are running Samba as a WINS server.
