Actually, it didn't... I hadn't waited long enough. Oh well... following Andrew Perrin's suggestion, I changed to running samba as daemons instead of from xinit, and now I'm not getting the messages in syslog (obviously). I'm also not getting any obnoxious messages in /var/log/samba/*, so I'm hoping that things are a bit happier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
