 Posted: Thu Aug 05, 2004 6:53 pm Post subject: Samba log file |
 |
|
Hi,
running an samba server which is working fine but the logfile is flooded with error messages.
| Code: |
[2004/08/05 20:34:57] err daemon nmbd[4455]: [2004/08/05 20:34:57, 0] nmbd/nmbd_packets.c:send_netbios_packet(163)

192.168.1.255 is my wlan - but I blocked all traffic and the data is going through an vpn tunnel on 10.0.0.255
I allready restricted samba to interfaces = 10.0.0.1/24 but the messages won't disappear. So why is samba still trying to send packages to the subnet and how do I get rid of these....?

It looks like its sending out a broadcast to your lan to see what boxes are in the workgroup. Normal windows traffic to my understanding. I'm not sure if there is a setting in samba to prevent these queries or not.

I thought I could prevent this by restricting samba on a certain interface/subnet... but nmbd seems to ignore that setting...
