Looks okay to me, Noel. However, there's a chance that it'll upset users
relying on the existing server-only "disable netbios" behaviour (the man
page is a little ambiguous WRT what should be affected. Also, if we do
go down this route, then for consistency it might also be worth
intervening in do_message_op().
Interested to hear what others think.
