I thought I should post the solution - somebody else may be caring. Apparently, ms file shares fall back on IPX & netbui when IP isn't available. The linux bridge code was bridging all ethernet traffic, and of course iptables only sees IP. So, I added rules to ebtables to block everything but ARP and IP, and that seems to have stopped the ms file sharing tunneling through. The extra commands on the end of my bridge script are: /sbin/ebtables --policy DROP /sbin/ebtables --append FORWARD -p ARP -j ACCEPT /sbin/ebtables --append FORWARD -p IP -j ACCEPT Sorry for the noise.
