SMB Authentication and username shortcut
I have a hard time following exactly what this hint is trying to say. An SMB workgroup listing contains the names of its hosts, not its users. The host name has very little to do with the valid usernames on a given machine. I'm not quite sure what correlation this tip is trying to convey.

Yeah ... I have no idea what this guy is talking about. Usernames and NetBIOS names are completely different entities. OS X just fills in the local login name when one isn't specified.

My guess as to what he meant, is that for (Windows) servers which you can log into (i.e. whose shares you can mount) without having to supply a password but only a valid username, you can use the NETBIOS name as a valid username, so you don't have to know or look up somewhere a valid username. |
