Not on Linux machines, as far as I know, but on a Windows machine with
file/printer sharing turned on, it can be interesting. You will also
see it from Windows machines that are not running a firewall, that are
telling any other windows machines that they are out there, and are
called <what ever>. I have seen these off and on for as long as I have
had a DSL connection. Some people also get them over PPP connections,
depending on filtering done by their ISP. If I remember right, my
dialup ISP blocked them...
If there is a problem, it would be with part of the Samba package. But
if you are running Samba, you have it blocked by the firewall anyway,,
right?
