How about this option for nmbd?

[William Knox]

I think that extending it _beyond_ what one can do with NT has a lot of merit
as well.  While I don't need to use the option described myself, and I 
don't know whether or not NT can do it, I certainly can see the usefulness of 
it.  Just my two cents.
