  If you no longer have any Win9x or WinME clients, you can
  add the following to smb.conf:
    smb ports  = 445

  I did this and it stopped the log noise.  Unfortunately, some
  folks here starting installing a Windows AFS client which apparently
  instead of registering as new file service is instead designed
  around manipulating the client stack via 139 so I was forced to
  turn it back on....sheesh.
