#You probably want to try adding right here:
netbios name = beverages
netbios aliases = tea cup mug
>              include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.host-%L

               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I don't think this will work if you have different workgroups listed
here, I suspect you would have to run seperate smbd's with different
config files if you want to do this.

Unnecessary, use netbios aliases instead.
