Hi. I found these in my Windows 2000 Server log: 30.6.2003 9:38:51 Srv Error None 2006 N/A SERVER The server received an incorrectly formatted request from \\10.106.6.1. 30.6.2003 8:43:03 Srv Error None 2006 N/A SERVER The server received an incorrectly formatted request from \\10.106.6.1. 30.6.2003 8:14:57 Srv Error None 2006 N/A SERVER The server received an incorrectly formatted request from \\10.106.6.1. 30.6.2003 8:09:40 Srv Error None 2006 N/A SERVER The server received an incorrectly formatted request from \\10.106.6.1. 30.6.2003 7:59:40 Srv Error None 2006 N/A SERVER The server received an incorrectly formatted request from \\10.106.6.1. 30.6.2003 7:56:23 Srv Error None 2006 N/A SERVER The server received an incorrectly formatted request from \\10.106.6.1. 30.6.2003 7:43:14 Srv Error None 2006 N/A SERVER The server received an incorrectly formatted request from \\10.106.6.1. 30.6.2003 7:36:54 Srv Error None 2006 N/A SERVER The server received an incorrectly formatted request from \\10.106.6.1. 30.6.2003 7:02:28 Srv Error None 2006 N/A SERVER The server received an incorrectly formatted request from \\10.106.6.1. 30.6.2003 6:35:29 Srv Error None 2006 N/A SERVER The server received an incorrectly formatted request from \\10.106.6.1. 30.6.2003 6:22:18 Srv Error None 2006 N/A SERVER The server received an incorrectly formatted request from \\10.106.6.1. 30.6.2003 6:05:19 Srv Error None 2006 N/A SERVER The server received an incorrectly formatted request from \\10.106.6.1. 10.106.6.1 is a Slackware Linux 8.1 running Samba 2.2.8a which is member of the domain. My smb.conf looks like this: [global] client code page = 852 workgroup = COMPANY server string = Samba SMB Server interfaces = 10.106.6.1/24 127.0.0.1/24 security = DOMAIN encrypt passwords = Yes password server = 10.106.5.1 wins server = 10.106.5.1 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 50 time server = Yes character set = ISO8859-2 guest account = smbuser hide dot files = No [public] comment = Public path = /home/public read only = No create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 guest ok = Yes [homes] comment = Homes read only = No create mask = 0640 directory mask = 0750 browseable = No [data] comment = Data path = /home/samba/data valid users = +super force group = +super read only = No create mask = 0660 directory mask = 02770 [backup] comment = Backup path = /var/backup valid users = +super force group = +super read only = No create mask = 0660 directory mask = 02770 I have read in smb.conf manual that "password server" should be NetBIOS name. (It works for me this way too.) Is it possible that this might be causing those log events in Windows 2000 Server?
