[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#709741: samba: separate name functionaliy from auth & share functionality

[Scott MacKenzie]

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.6.6-6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

I believe it would be beneficial to many users to be able to install a 
minimal set of packages that would provide netbios name resolution and 
aide in the discovery of netbios naming (typically via broadcast?) on 
networks which do not involve a domain controller but rather a collection of
statically defined COMPUTER_NAMEs with a common WORKGROUP definition.  

An example usecase might be the sharing of Xsession information 
using agreed naming between Windows/Cygwin and Linux machines.
