Hi, I happened to check the activity logs of my firewall and found that the Samba server (our only linux box) is sending packets out to seemingly random IP addresses on the 'net. They are all directed to port 53, and are being blocked at the firewall, but they're firing off at a rate of 1 every 5-10 seconds. What gives? Have I been hacked, or is this normal or configurable behavior?

...is unreachable when it goes to unmount, then it hangs again. eg the other machine has been shutdown, which is likely to happen. Is there any way to force samba not to wait indefinately for a response from the server? I don't seem to recall this being a problem with 2.0.7 Return-Path: <kenny@hereintown.net> Delivered-To: samba@samba.org Received: from lightning.hereintown.net (lightning.hereintown.net [207.196.96.3]) by lists.samba.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 9A0FD44F8 for <samba@samba.org>; Thu, 28 Jun 2001 18:54:34 -0700 (PDT) Received: from max10-38.hereintown.net ([206.239.168.24...
