[Nagiosplug-help] Help with check_disk_smb

[Ralph.Grothe at itdz-berlin.de]

As a Nagios user who never used this plugin (as I lack any
Samba/CIFS servers to monitor)
I am also curious why you pass in four arguments where you only
use three of them?
To me it looks as if ldchome3 in the service definition is
somewhat redundant.
Also, wouldn't use of the macro $HOSTADDRESS$ avoid name
resolutions instead of $HOSTNAME$?

But as said, I may not understand the working of this plugin.
