Can you explain what you mean? What kind of "error will pop up"?

For testing I just changed the netbios name setting in my servers
smb.conf to a name which certainly does not resolv, neither by
/etc/hosts nor bind. And no error occurs. Do you maybe mean samba name
mapping through /etc/samba/lmhosts file?

Of course if you change your hostname setting then of course the
/etc/hosts file should reflect the changed mapping too.
