That would only change the description string, not the netbios name
itself. First he should take care that /etc/sysconfig/network
HOSTNAME=something_else_than_localhost has set. And then if he likes he
can set in the smb.conf "netbios name = foobar", else the netbios name
is automatically the hostname.
