Re: [OS X] Disabling NetBIOS broadcasts in LeopardAFAIK, to kill netbios completely you'll need to add the following lines to /etc/smb.conf.
disable netbios = yes
smb ports = 445
You'll also need to stop nmbd from starting. You can do that with the following command:
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/nmbd.plist
Doing this will probably break name resolution of windows clients via netbios (of course). It may also break browsing windows networks. |

| This disables the NetBIOS server. The NetBIOS client still sends out broadcasts. This is disabled easily in Windows but I now have a support call into Apple to find out how to disable on OS X.
Why would I want unsolicited broadcasts coming out of my machine? |

Use the built in firewall to stop the broadcasts.
sudo ipfw add 1 deny tcp from any to any 137 out
sudo ipfw add 2 deny udp from any to any 137 out
