[Samba] Samba4 and 0.0.0.0:137 and 0.0.0.0:138 opened, why ? How do close it ?

Thanks for this answer.
As I understood, for example if parameter
bind interfaces only = yes is and
interfaces = lan0 (192.168.0.254) is

and if broadcast packet goes from 95.95.95.14 such packet will be dropped
(in other words) ?
Am I right ?

And other thing.
Why is 192.168.0.255 (network broadcast) opened for ?
May be exact such address (network broadcast) is inbtended for receiving
broadcasts ?
Within exact subnet but 0.0.0.0 is for all subnets ?

And is it possible to set off 0.0.0.0 via smb.conf ?

[Samba] Samba4 and 0.0.0.0:137 and 0.0.0.0:138 opened, why ? How do close it ?

I have founded that 0.0.0.0:port could be "closed" by setting up
socket
address = wishing IP addresses,
for example socket address = 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.254

I am a bit confused here, you have set samba to only listen on the lo 
and lan0 interfaces and these have the ipaddresses of 127.0.0.1 & 
192.168.0.254. You do not like nmbd listening on 0.0.0.0 so you have 
turned it off, you do know that in this context, 0.0.0.0 means listen on 
all ip addresses on the machine that samba is set to use. So what you 
are really saying is ' I do not like nmbd listening on all this machines 
samba ip-addresses, so I will stop them listening on all these 
ip-addresses and only let them listen on 127.0.0.1 & 192.168.0.254, 
which are the only ipaddresses that samba will listen on anyway.

[Samba] Samba4 and 0.0.0.0:137 and 0.0.0.0:138 opened, why ? How do close it ?

Hmmm, I founded some at
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2012-July/085752.html
As I saw these patches was already implemented.

But is it possible to receive broadcast not to 0.0.0.0 but to x.y.z.255 ?
This is network broadcast either.

And opened 0.0.0.0 even with checking of source net is quite insecure from
net security point of view.
I think so.

May be is it necessary to add some smb.conf parameter that could allow to
set up x.y.z.255 instead of 0.0.0.0 ?
