[Samba] samba log - mac osx - console output - hacking evidence?

This E-Mail address is for reporting security vulnerabilities in the Samba software.

The logs do show that the same server is running and those logs show the normal startup and shutdown of the nmbd name server and the smbd session servers to provide sharing service. Your configuration file does show you offering a share in a Public folder in your home directory and a Public share under mdsp. The both indicate that "guest" is allowed to connect, which is probably not the most secure configuration. But I'm guessing that's Apples default setup for users that are added to a system plus a system wide public share. I don't know. I don't use Macs. But nothing looks malicious in there at all.> I have a simple question regarding your product.
