Hi.

Is there any way to resolve IP addresses to NetBIOS names or vice versa? I've 
looked at the nmblookup code and it appears to use code internal to samba. I 
want to do this just using libsmbclient, and there appears to be no way to do 
it. I would have though it's a fairly common thing to do... Maybe I will just 
have to spawn nmblookup for now, ugly as that is.

Also, I have written a C++ wrapper for libsmbclient called libsmbmm. If anyone 
would like it send me an email. It is complete but entirely untested at the 
moment.

Thanks
