NT hammering my samba netbios?

[Randy Orrison <randy@orrison.com>]

I've recently added a Windows NT4sp6a box to my home network, configured as
a PDC and running Microsoft Exchange (don't ask).  Since then, whenever it's
up, I keep getting the following entries in /var/log/syslog:

May  1 04:59:23 evo xinetd[606]: START: netbios-ns pid=19288 from=192.168.33.3
May  1 04:59:23 evo xinetd[606]: START: netbios-ns pid=19289 from=192.168.33.3
May  1 04:59:23 evo xinetd[606]: START: netbios-ns pid=19290 from=192.168.33.3
May  1 04:59:23 evo xinetd[606]: Deactivating service netbios-ns due to
			excessive incoming connections.  Restarting in 10 seconds.
May  1 04:59:23 evo xinetd[606]: FAIL: netbios-ns connections per second from=192.168.33.3

(192.168.33.3 is the NT box.) A few seconds later the netbios-ns service
restarts, and I get another batch of 10 START messages and it dies again.
Does anyone have any clue what's going on?

Actually, it's a bit weirder than that: after the service restarts, the
next batch of messages say

May  1 05:00:42 evo xinetd[606]: START: netbios-ns pid=19291 from=192.168.33.1

where 192.168.33.1 is my linux box!  It appears to be hammering itself.

This isn't causing any noticable effects, but it's sure filling my log files
quickly.  Any clues would be helpful, or let me know if you need any further
information about the Linux or NT configurations.

Thanks!
