[Samba] odd errors in log files: service name trucation
Hi, I was doing a little look through one of our log files for a Terminal server client and noticed a couple of odd error messages: iceberg-ts5 (10.2.3.15) couldn't find service ta iceberg-ts5 (10.2.3.15) couldn't find service app iceberg-ts5 (10.2.3.15) couldn't find service revie I found these odd because there are no connections of these names (of course!). Except that there are quite a few occurences of these types of error messages and they refer to service names STARTING with these characters. eg ta would be a service called tae, app would be a service called apps, revie would be a service called review. I could believe maybe one or two due to user typing errors etc, but this seems to be systematic. I guess I'm suggesting there might be a string trucation bug somewhere there. I've included a few lines around one of these errors that will give more details: [2002/08/21 13:09:05, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(690) iceberg-ts5 (10.2.3.15) closed connection to service tlin [2002/08/21 13:09:15, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(251) iceberg-ts5 (10.2.3.15) couldn't find service ta [2002/08/21 13:09:39, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(690) iceberg-ts5 (10.2.3.15) closed connection to service netlogon [2002/08/21 13:09:39, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(690) iceberg-ts5 (10.2.3.15) closed connection to service tall This connection is likely to be created during logon (reconnection of user mapped drives) as the netlogon share is closed just after. Any ideas? -- Robert Stuart Systems Administrator Ph: 61 7 3864 0364 Fax: 61 7 3221 2553
