For a brief description of NetBIOS Scope see the smb.conf man page under
"netbios scope".  For a full, lengthy description see:

  http://ubiqx.org/cifs/NetBIOS.html

Scope is annoying and not particularly useful.  It was never implemented
properly by other products so there was no reason to get it right in
Samba.  (In fact, getting it right could break things.)
