im using yesterday's HEAD (3.0alpha17...) with ldapsam at log level 2 with essentially no activity on the network i get user lookups every couple of seconds in the logs - is this normal? It looks like maybe a client is makeing repeated transient "are you there" type connections. I didn't see this in the log with samba 2.2.4pre. here is the output from smbstatus Samba version 3.0-alpha17 PID Username Group Machine ------------------------------------------------------------------- 18845 lauelab labusers yphantis (132.177.47.94) Service pid machine Connected at ------------------------------------------------------- data 18845 yphantis Thu Apr 25 17:37:41 2002 IPC$ 15776 jdurant Thu Apr 25 17:30:04 2002 No locked files here is the output from log.smbd [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(309) Allowed connection from (132.177.46.199) [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(77) netbios connect: name1=BITC name2=LAUELAB06 [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(96) netbios connect: local=bitc remote=lauelab06 [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_open_connection(206) ldap_open_connection: connection opened [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_connect_system(240) ldap_connect_system: successful connection to the LDAP server [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_search_one_user(252) ldapsam_search_one_user: searching for:[(&(uid=TPM)(objectclass=sambaAccount))] [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(498) Entry found for user: tpm [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(256) check_password: authenticaion for user [TPM] -> [TPM] -> [tpm] suceeded [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_open_connection(206) ldap_open_connection: connection opened [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_connect_system(240) ldap_connect_system: successful connection to the LDAP server [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_search_one_user(252) ldapsam_search_one_user: searching for:[(&(uid=tpm)(objectclass=sambaAccount))] [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(498) Entry found for user: tpm [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(309) Allowed connection from (132.177.46.199) [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_open_connection(206) ldap_open_connection: connection opened [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_connect_system(240) ldap_connect_system: successful connection to the LDAP server [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_search_one_user(252) ldapsam_search_one_user: searching for:[(&(uid=tpm)(objectclass=sambaAccount))] [2002/04/25 18:16:32, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(498) Entry found for user: tpm [2002/04/25 18:16:34, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(498) Closing connections [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(309) Allowed connection from (132.177.46.199) [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(77) netbios connect: name1=BITC name2=LAUELAB06 [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] smbd/reply.c:reply_special(96) netbios connect: local=bitc remote=lauelab06 [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_open_connection(206) ldap_open_connection: connection opened [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_connect_system(240) ldap_connect_system: successful connection to the LDAP server [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_search_one_user(252) ldapsam_search_one_user: searching for:[(&(uid=TPM)(objectclass=sambaAccount))] [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(498) Entry found for user: tpm [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(256) check_password: authenticaion for user [TPM] -> [TPM] -> [tpm] suceeded [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_open_connection(206) ldap_open_connection: connection opened [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_connect_system(240) ldap_connect_system: successful connection to the LDAP server [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_search_one_user(252) ldapsam_search_one_user: searching for:[(&(uid=tpm)(objectclass=sambaAccount))] [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(498) Entry found for user: tpm [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(309) Allowed connection from (132.177.46.199) [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_open_connection(206) ldap_open_connection: connection opened [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_connect_system(240) ldap_connect_system: successful connection to the LDAP server [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_search_one_user(252) ldapsam_search_one_user: searching for:[(&(uid=tpm)(objectclass=sambaAccount))] [2002/04/25 18:16:47, 2] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:init_sam_from_ldap(498) Entry found for user: tpm
