netbiosd blocking vs sleep dilemma
Hi everyone.
Recently I decided to block netbiosd in OS X Lion firewall because I don't need it and I consider it a potential security risk.
However, ever since I blocked netbiosd, Console started logging failed connection attempts to netbiosd (several failed connection attempts per minute) and this logging prevents my MBP from sleeping after a period of inactivity (set to 15 minutes in Energy Saver preferences).
Now I face the following dilemma: I can either allow netbiosd in firewall settings which would allow my Mac to sleep or I can keep netbiosd blocked and accept loss of automatic sleep.
My question is: is it possible to keep netbiosd blocked and have Mac go to sleep after a given period of inactivity? Or am I perhaps too paranoid about netbiosd and security - should I just allow netbiosd in Firewall?
Any suggestions/comments will be appreciated.
Thanks.
