Description roland 2018-03-12 14:31:46 UTC 
as samba only seems to register the hostname/netbios name in avahi, i wonder how i could add a descriptive string to the service name, as i can do in avahi configuration.

see
https://kodi.wiki/view/Avahi_Zeroconf#SAMBA_service_-_pre_3.3.x_.28.2Fetc.2Favahi.2Fservices.2Fsmb.service.29

 <service-group>
   <name replace-wildcards="yes">SAMBA on %h</name>

maybe this could be added to smb.conf options
