smbd mainly has to use this for authentication. From a
client's perspective (i.e. nmbd) I would just normally
continue to use global_myname() whatever that is. If it
comes to authenticate a client's user/password and we need
to establish a credential chain, then and only then we use
the name stored in secrets.tdb.
