+ <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>
+ 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>.
