Likewise, if you want to disable the NetBIOS [since it is notoriously infamous for hogging excessive system resources], then also you need to make changes to this file. In this regard, there are two different locations from where you could get hold of this file, namely ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf [for a single user] and /etc/nsmb.conf [for all users]. Unfortunately, in my case [and many others], this file was missing from both the directories. So what’s happening here? Well, the file isn’t exactly missing, but it doesn’t exist on your system in the first place. You will have to manually create this file first in order to make changes to it. And in this guide, we will show you how to do just that. Follow along.
