I take it that 'DOMAIN' is the placeholder for the correct NetBIOS
domain name (aka workgroup).
Every Samba Unix domain member has a netbios name (the computers short
hostname in capitals), but you do not need to set the 'netbios name =
XXXXX' line in smb.conf, Samba will do it for you.
You also should not be using 'netbios aliases' in a Unix domain members
smb.conf, you should set CNAME's in AD dns, Samba no longer uses NetBios
or wins.
