Samba messages filling syslog.log file.

[Leonard Gallatin]

I am receiving the following message multiple times in the syslog.log file on one of my HP 9000 servers running HP-UX . Can anyone tell more about it and how to stop it from filling the syslog.log file:

smbd[258111]:Couldn't set gid -24 currently set to (0.0)
smbd[258111]:Can't become connected user!

May want to check out this thread:

I would try that. It should fix your problem and stop the errors from hitting your syslog.log

Are you using Samba?

A few of my boxes have Samba loaded but I dont use it. It got loaded when the MCOE was loaded I just turned it off and then later swremoved it...

Of course, don't swremove it if you are actually using it.

You can configure samba to use its own log file.

/etc/other/samba/smb.conf

There is a log file option in there

After making changes:

/sbin/init.d/samba stop
/sbin/init.d/samba start
