I'm happy to add that when I write up the patch. Any ideas what other
protocols we want to keep or disable?

spoolss comes to mind in particular, but what about epmapper and
dssetup?  

epmapper appears never to get registration (unless
rpc_server:register_embedded_np = true), so I think that is safe to
disable for file servers.  (Is it used in FreeIPA somehow?).

Otherwise, perhaps we list what Apple exposes and use that as a guide
for what we really should leave on file servers?

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
