Digging up this thread again:

the current redhat version of samba seems to disregard the setting of
'bind interfaces only', as I'm still getting occasional external scans
poking at my nmbd and getting a response. I had thought it was working
correctly until I spotted a scan going through.

Cheers,
Waider.
