yes, that's the downside. I thought about it and decided it was better
to have old workgroups than not have some real workgroups.
I don't think we can avoid old workgroups staying around. The lack of
a ttl in the NetServerEnum reply makes it basically impossible.

sure, that's why I added a new parameter which tells the list code
whether to ask for workgroup names only. It only asks for machine
names when querying its own workgroup.

yep, that's what I did.
