Re: [OS X] Disabling NetBIOS broadcasts in Leopard

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.
