[Samba] Windows client doesn't show up in findsmb

[Chris Garrigues]

What does it mean if a windows XP consistently doesn't show up in findsmb 
even when it does show up in smbstatus?

Also, I don't know if this is related or not, but the same machine sometimes 
shows up in smbstatus with two different PIDs.  We've seen this with two 
different machines, both running XP.

Here's smbstatus output (the machine in question is accountingiii):

Samba version 3.0.4

26290   btalbot       users         accountingiii (10.2.240.134)

run again a few minutes later:

Samba version 3.0.4

30020   mlugo         users         border01     (10.2.240.188)
15173   pfwup         users         acctmax      (10.2.240.2)
20338   btalbot       users         accounting3  (10.2.240.131)
16158   llawrence     users         df2x1121     (10.2.240.190)
 2872   kpotts        users         accountingii (10.2.240.147)
11898   apayne        users         paynelaptop  (10.2.240.143)
26290   btalbot       users         accountingiii (10.2.240.134)

(Don't let accountingiii and accounting3 confuse you.)
