Speaking of log spamming, I see nmb spam

[Tom Horsley]

Checking for spam from NM, I instead found this nonsense:

Jun 6 00:01:19 zooty nmbd[2999]: [2021/06/06 00:01:19.675514, 0] ../../source3/libsmb/nmblib.c:923(send_udp)
Jun 6 00:01:19 zooty nmbd[2999]: Packet send failed to 192.168.2.255(137) ERRNO=Operation not permitted

That 192.168.2 network isn't really there, it is a bridge setup that
has nothing connected except for some special virtual machines
that sometimes use it but are almost never running.

So I found the interfaces config options for smb.conf and made
those messages stop, but the web is full of info telling me I no longer
need netbios on Windows 10, yet when I stop the nmb service,
my Windows 10 virtual machine cannot mount the shares it normally
mounts from my fedora box.

Anyone know if it is really possible to get rid of nmb? (The only
systems mounting shares are windows 10.)

Found it! If I re-enable the avahi stuff I had turned off,
Windows can apparently use that for "discovery" instead of
nmb, so I can get rid of nmb by enabling avahi, and the
Windows 10 systems still mount shares OK.

Better and better! I can turn avahi back off and install
wsdd from the repos, and with a bit of configuration
not only do shares still work, but my fedora system
shows up in the network browser in windows 10 for
the first time ever.
