<para>
This sets the NetBIOS name by which a Samba server is known. By default it is the same as the first component
of the host's DNS name. If a machine is a browse server or logon server this name (or the first component of
the hosts DNS name) will be the name that these services are advertised under.
</para>
<para>Note that the maximum length for a NetBIOS name is 15 charactars.</para>
<para>
There is a bug in Samba that breaks operation of browsing and access to shares if the netbios name
is set to the literal name <literal>PIPE</literal>. To avoid this problem, do not name your Samba
server <literal>PIPE</literal>.
