     for example:
         netbios name = SERVER

     hosts allow's 127eed to have a "1" at the end
     for example:
         hosts allow = 192.168.202.0/24 127.0.0.1


wsdd:
    wsdd need to be stopped and started along with
    smbd and nmbd
       # systemctl stop wsdd
       # systemctl stop smb
       # systemctl stop nmb

       # systemctl start nmb
       # systemctl start smb
       # systemctl start wsdd
