I am not sure, but I think that shlight does not know NetBIOS and can't
do the lookup that way. Maybe use smbclient to find the IP address first?

Then use the IP for in the shlight line and use -s to set the NetBIOS
server name.

It has been a long time since I have used or needed shlight. I was
thinking that someone was working on a native smbmount for NetBSD at one
time. (FreeBSD has one.)
