Bug#650091: package description



Package: libpam-winbind
Version: 2:3.5.11~dfsg-4
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-l10n-english@lists.debian.org

Dear Samba Maintainers,

there was some discussion about how to translate the second paragraph of the
package description (1). It says:

 ... and nss_wins, which provides hostname lookups via the WINS and NBNS
 protocols.

I would suggest to s/WINS and NBNS protocols./WINS/NBNS service/ or something
equivalent, as WINS and NBNS are implementations of the same protocol (2),
(3):

  NetBIOS Name Service (NBNS)

  This service is often called WINS on Windows systems.

The NetBIOS Name Service is part of the NetBIOS-over-TCP protocol suite, see
  the NetBIOS page for further information.

Kind regards,
  Martin
