Re: Samba nmbd messages in log (SOLVED)

I have a Samba server running on my small home network. The home network is served off its own NIC (eth0). A separate NIC (eth1) is connected thru cable modem to VOIP router. The VOIP router appears to be doing NAT and serves up an address:

eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:04:75:73:91:0F inet addr:192.168.15.100 Bcast:192.168.15.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

My /var/log/messages file is filling with the following messages, every 10-15 minutes:

==========

I can see my shares on the network from a Windows XP client. All seems well. I have shared my linux box printer thru the printer share & it works.

My testparm file:

===============

My take on the log messages is that nmbd broadcasts to ALL interfaces even though I bind only to eth0 (home network NIC). The IP address (192.168.15.100) is assigned by the VOIP router.

Any suggestions as to how I can quiet these?

As a side note, I am confused as to whether I need to call for Samba to be a domain master in a simple setup like this. I appears as though I do. Thoughts?


As suggested I set "wins support = no" which stopped the messages in the log. My setup does not need this option. Also added "Samba" to my /etc/hosts file to make sure we resolve, although this was not related to problem.

Still curious as to how one would stop these messages if needed wins support & had a setup like mine.

Thanks for help.
