OK, Since we last spoke I built a new server, installed FBSD 7.2 and installed the samba package 3.3.3 and the results were the same. The new server is still being flooded with:

Its modern hardware with a intel Atom processor and so forth and its spending 24% processor time filling out logs. John suggest 3.3.8 and I realized I was at 3.3.3 so I upgraded samba to 3.3.8 and got the same result! So I have had version 3.0.something (older FBSD implementation) through 3.3.8 running (7.2 FBSD implementation) and all of them are being flooded by vista. Ya ya I know...blame Gates, but there must be a fix here some place? thanks for your help in advance.

Samba-3.4.2 is a whole different animal from 3.0.7 - life has moved on. Vista is also a whole different animal than XP and requires the later Samba releases for smooth interoperability. cheers, John T. > Life has been fine with XP and so forth > > > > I added a new vista workstation to my small network > > > > Vista found my shares and I am able to access them with no jerking around > with authentication types or such as I use appropriate pw and user name to > log into the vista box. > > > > Problem is vista is spamming my server, taking up >50% cpu time and creating > a 500K log file every 2 min > > > > it is filling the log file with > > > > [2009/10/17 08:11:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(800) > > dads-pc (10.0.2.124) couldn't find service roo > > [2009/10/17 08:11:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(800) > > dads-pc (10.0.2.124) couldn't find service roo > > [2009/10/17 08:11:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(800) > > dads-pc (10.0.2.124) couldn't find service roo > > [2009/10/17 08:11:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(800) > > dads-pc (10.0.2.124) couldn't find service roo > > [2009/10/17 08:11:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(800) > > dads-pc (10.0.2.124) couldn't find service roo > > [2009/10/17 08:11:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(800) > > dads-pc (10.0.2.124) couldn't find service roo > > [2009/10/17 08:11:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(800) > > dads-pc (10.0.2.124) couldn't find service roo > > [2009/10/17 08:11:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(800) > > dads-pc (10.0.2.124) couldn't find service roo > > [2009/10/17 08:11:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(800) > > dads-pc (10.0.2.124) couldn't find service roo > > [2009/10/17 08:11:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(800) > > dads-pc (10.0.2.124) couldn't find service roo > > > > > > the service name is truncated also by on letter > > > > thanks in advance for your help > > > > Brian > > > -- John H Terpstra "If at first you don't succeed, don't go sky-diving!" -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
