I did some tests with test server using Samba 2.2.8a. I received some 
strange messages in the log file that cannot be with below configuration:
_____________________________________________________________________________

        From my desktop I mapped the SHARE [rodrigo] and I have no problems to 
access it. Therefore, analysing the logs files, specifically the client log 
file in the server, I saw some weird messages:

...
[2005/03/15 18:04:18, 0] lib/access.c:check_access(333)
  Denied connection from  (187.10.16.XXX)
...

        The weird thing is that this messages are logged only when I open some 
file inside the shared directory from samba. Using "windows explorer", I mapped 
the share inside windows explorer and using on the server the command "tail -f 
log.client". At the moment of openning file, a tenth of this messages are 
logged. The IP address showed is the IP of my Desktop and the open file 
operation is sucedeed without any error messages from windows. See also that in 
the smb.conf file, on the SHARE [rodrigo] I put a explicit configuration that 
allow my host 187.10.16.216 to access that SHARE.

        Why these messages are logged ?? What is wrong inside my configuration 
?? Is wrong ?

Tks in advance,
