No warning when the hostname has more than 15 chars

[Daniel]

Binary package hint: ubiquity

There should be a warning when the hostname exceeds 15 characters, because by default the hostname is used as netbiosname by samba. Alternatively one can add an extra input field to enter the netbios-name.
Using net usershare via nautilus is quite a common task. Thus it is import to work even for persons without any background knowledge.
