OK, but this IMHO isn't reported in the bugreport. The described problem
from Elmar is about the switch smbfs -> cifs and an old kernel.
The need of netbiosname and hostname should be a new/other bug report
because it is/was not Elmars problem. Thats why I wanted to close it.
But its not so important to have it in this or a new bugreport.;)
