[Samba] Netbios Browsing with 4.1.7 - Can I get some clarification on how to use "internal nbt server" (or if I am even able to)

[JD Daniels]

Thank you for the clarification.

Both the Google overlords and the duck keep finding samba 3.x resources 
- it can get quite confusing :)

I was concerned I had to add nbt server stuff to my samba init.d script 
and was just missing the documentation on how to do so.
