Reminds me: is it also correct that nmbd ignores which address
it's supposed to listen on, and instead binds to 'em all? I prefer to
configure my services so that they're not visible on the
Internet-facing side of things even if my firewalling is broken, just
in case my firewalling gets broken somehow.
