samba nmbd: multiple (2) responses

[Donald Kok]

Hi,

Got samba working on 11i. The log.nmbd and the syslog fills up with these messages:

[2003/03/19 10:36:59, 0] nmbd/nmbd_namequery.c:(104)
query_name_response: Multiple (2) responses received for a query on subnet 145.50.64.73 for name YSSELMEERGEBIED<1d>.
This response was from IP 145.50.64.60, reporting an IP address of 145.50.64.60.

the 73 machine is the sambamachine; the 60 machine is the dns/wins.

Thanks
Donald

It would appear that samba is receiving two seperate name request responses from the 60 server.

Has the 60 server got two seperate network interfaces in the same subnet?

Apart from the nuisance of filling up syslog, the messages can be safely ignored.

Regards,
John

Hi John,

The dns server has one entry for the 73 machine. The 73 machine does have 2 interfaces, of which I do use only one.

And yes, the messages annoys me ;-)

Hi Donald,
IMO I would stop samba to log to the syslog.log for the following reason:
The samba logs and the syslog.log both are placed on the /var volume, you have the same info in two different places on the same lvol.
If you monitor the syslog.log with a script, why not use the same script for samba with a different log file.

OK found it.

The other networkcard was used by the system, so I downed the interface. Now the messages disapear. Will use the card later with APA.

Thanks
Donald
