Running nmbd is an option, but according to the man pages, it only
maintains wins.dat and/or browse.dat if it's the WINS server and/or
browse master (respectively), of which there can only be one of either
on a network.  If possible, I'd like to avoid requiring network
administrators to alter their network configuration.
