Mapping machine_name

[Christopher R. Hertel]

This is of interest with respect to jCIFS because jCIFS generates the 
client's CALLING name on the fly.  As a result, the %m value read by Samba 
will be somewhat random.

The %m value is derived from the CALLING name field in the NBT Session 
Request.  If that's missing (on port 445, for instance) then it can be 
found in a few other places.  As Andrew points out, it will be sent when 
doing NTLMSSP authentication.
