Yes, it can be ignored, it is coming from nmbd and that relies on SMBv1
and it is now turned off by default. I suggest you add:

disable netbios = yes

to '[global]' in your smb.conf and reload or restart Samba.

Wow, thank you so much for your instant reply!

I added it and executed "smbcontrol all reload-config", but the
message keeps appearing.
Should I kill and disable nmbd? I see such a process running.
