From the SAMBA docs -
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html
Chapter 2.
Though there's no code to show how it does it, the docs specify that it
looks to the /etc/hosts file or through DNS name resolution
(/etc/resolv.conf) to find the name of the host. NMCONFIG is foreign to any
version of SAMBA.
