iptables, NAT and NetBIOS

[Kramer]

iptables NAT still does not have a conntrack to handle the embedded 
netbios addresses for a NATed subnet.  Basically you cannot use iptables 
NAT if there are MS networking hosts on any NATed subnet.  Is anyone 
working on this now?

I am very puzzled by this because I find very few networks that don't 
have at least some MS Windows workstations.  Even more puzzled since the 
iptables.org group is also the Samba group for making unix/linux 
interoperate with MS and iptables is not compatible with MS.  Cisco, 
Checkpoint and other commercial proprietary firewalls handle netbios 
thru NAT.

If I have missed the fix to this problem somewhere I would love to be 
corrected.
