[TriLUG] cifs: query_name_response messages in log files.

[Blackburn, Marvin]

I keep getting these messages in the /var/log/messages file after
configuring samba.

My config file is very simple (I'm just learning and starting simple)

 

[global]

        workgroup = corpntp

        server string = Samba Server Version %v

        interfaces = 127.0.0.1 eth0

        hosts allow = 172.20.8.140 172.20.8.118

        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log

        security = user

;       passdb backend = tdbsam

        load printers = no

[marvin]

        comment = Marvin's work area

        path = /u00/blacma

        public = no

        browsable = yes

        writeable = yes

        printable = no

 

 

Any ideas why I'm getting these messages?

How can I fix this ?

 

My cifs server is a rhel 5.3 server with two interfaces (only one is
configured in the conf file).
