Sorry, how many machines are out there that change their host name on a regular basis, so that the registry name would "always" be wrong ? The way Samba does this is IMO reasonable: "netbios name (G) - This sets the NetBIOS name by which a Samba server is known. By default it is the same as the first component of the host's DNS name." I'd propose: If the registry contains an explicit ComputerName entry, use it as Netbios name; otherwise, use the Unix hostname. This would affect only the users that enter a Netbios name in their registry, and thus not those with changing host names that you're worried about.
