Actually, after further thought, I'm not sure it looks in the NMCONFIG. I
am able to reach my Samba server from a PC using that name, but that might
be because we have a DNS entry for that name. In other words, it might just
be standard address-resolution stuff. Mark Bixby, can you give us an
authoritative answer?

That was my first thought as well, but after reading the smb.conf file
(using vi, ugh!) and finding no mention of "servername" or "sambaserver", I
realized it had to be somewhere else.
What is so very interesting is that the samba service can't read the IP
address and subnet mask from the NMMGR file, but has no problem getting the
server name from it. Go figure.
