So is ':' a legal character in a netbios name?  What is the legal set of
characters for netbios names?

If there are no characters that are legal in URLs and illegal in netbios
names, it may be that we'll end up needing something like this...

	group = nmb_find_group(name,NULL);
	while (!group) {
		scope = strrchr(name, '.');
		if (!scope) break;
		scope++ = '\0';
		group = nmb_find_group(name,scope);
	}
