Volker,  Are you sure this is worth it?  I mean a
dhcp client that doesn't specify its name in smb.conf
is just broken in my opinion.  I consider this more
of a configuration error and covering over it might
cause more pain that is fixes.

I mean all systems I can think Linux or otherwise
allow you to decouple the hostname from the DHCP
address and name.
