How can I solve > the problem?You can disable FAM support by setting "fam change notify = no" in smb.conf. This will get rid of the messages, but obviously you won't get FAM support. I'd have to dig into the FAM implementation on FreeBSD to be more helpful, and I won't be able to do that for a couple of weeks. -- James Peach | jorgar@gmail.com
