Re: Smb output

[Michael Sconzo <msconzo () tamu edu>]

The slow(er) part is having the nmblookup take IP -> NetBIOS name
then using that with smbclient to generate the WinPopUp message.
Maybe I'm doing it a broken way...that's what I have now tho.

So you lose 'time' by calling multiple external programs and waiting
for them to return.
