-Samba-3 permits WINS replication through the use of the <filename>wrepld</filename> utility. This tool is not
-currently in use because it is still in development and has not been worked on for a long time. As soon as
-this tool becomes moderately functional, we will prepare man pages and enhance this section of the
-documentation to provide usage and technical details.
+Samba-3 does not support native WINS replication. There was an approach to implement it, called
+<filename>wrepld</filename>, but it was never ready for action and the development is now discontinued.

+Meanwhile, there is a project named <filename>samba4WINS</filename>, which makes it possible to
+run the Samba-4 WINS server parallel to Samba-3 since version 3.0.21. More information about
+<filename>samba4WINS</filename> are available at http://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba4WINS.
