Samba List:
I have a multisite setup connected via T1/VPN. Each site has it's own
SMB server (Debian 4.1) and between 6 and 70 PCs connected to it at a
time. Each is a PDC for it's respective site, on different domain names.
Any given site may have to access files stored on a different site's
server, so SMB traffic is allowed between locations.
We've had a problem for a while now where the browse list on PCs never
expires old entries. For instance, one of the IT employees had a testing
workgroup set up that still appears in the browse list 8 months after
he's left. We've tried the "turn everything off" suggestion
but it's 1)
hard to know if we really got *everything* off; we're a bit of a 24/7
operation and 2) a minor problem, so we haven't dedicated that much time
to figuring it out.
One of the servers sporadically has a weird log entry, though, and I
think it might be related. Once or twice a week, the log output looks like:

NOTE: This email sent in plain text (I hope!) so it might not look
"correct", but it's supposed to look like Unicode-to-ASCII
non-sense.
This is followed by hundreds of pages of special character gook.
That particular machine is running 3.0.24-6etch9, as are other
machines...but it's the only one with Log Vomit.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
