The problem is that when a client first connects to us, we don't have
any details about the client.  Previously, this would not be a problem,
because very shortly thereafter, the client would send it's first packet
- the name exchange.   

However, now that we open port 445, we don't get that name and so we can
only use the IP address.  If the logon is via NTLMSSP, we might get the
name later, but if it is kerberos, we would never get another name.

If you set 'hostname lookups = yes' we will use the reverse DNS name for
%m and %M, instead of the IP address.
