Yes - I just noticed that in this case (multichannel mount to Samba
where no valid interfaces) we log it every ten minutes.
Maybe best way to fix this is to change it to a log once error (with
server name is fine with me) since it is probably legal to return an
empty list (so not serious enough to be worth logging every ten
minutes) and in theory server could fix its interfaces later.
