I found a solution. The key was the dhcpd.conf. By adding the
"netbios-name-servers=x.x.x.x" option to /etc/dhcpd.conf, the dhcpd service
correctly populated the WINS field on the Windows clients.
I was not able to find anything that suggested that samba could act as a
dhcp server or assign this value. Is this true?
The contents of the dhcpd.conf is below:
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
option domain-name-servers 24.95.227.34, 24.95.227.35, 24.95.227.36;
option routers 192.168.1.6;
range 192.168.1.50 192.168.1.254;
}
Maybe its experience, but dhcpd was the easiest Linux service to configure.

WINS is a windows thing and needs to be set in your smb.conf. Use
something like webmin to help if you need it.

Again, you need to make this setting in your smb.conf. It should be
something along the lines of password server.
