[Samba] Resolving NetBIOS names within linux

[Rapazito PT]

 You do not mention the size of your network. Here I have 12 WinNT 
Workstations, 51 Win2K workstations, 3 RH Workstations and 3 RH Servers and 
instead of using samba to do that job I use BIND (DNS Server) and DHCP Server 
to do the work for me.
