Hi,

I have samba installed and (tried) to set it up as secure as possible. However, I get a lot of these errors:
Code:
smbd[22133]:   getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
smbd[22133]:   Connection denied from 0.0.0.0
smbd[22133]:   write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Connection reset by peer
smbd[17779]:   getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
smbd[17779]:   getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected

My guess is: something is trying to connect to smbd, but is not allowed (the config does not (explicitly) allow 0.0.0.0. However, 0.0.0.0 isn't a valid address...
What is connecting? is it samba itself? shouldn't that be from 127.0.0.1?
is is safe to allow 0.0.0.0 explicitly?

I wouldn't worry about it.

about the warnings? or about adding 0.0.0.0 to the allow-list?

point is, I made syslog filter out all "failures" and "denied" and.... to go in a seperate log file (which should always be empty)
