close_cnum reporting ip address=0.0.0.0?

[Bruce Tenison]

Sorry for the multiple questions.  Noticed this in my log files also:
Most of the time when a service is disconnected, I get:
[1998/12/17 06:33:28, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(510)
  ost15 (0.0.0.0) closed connection to service virus
[1998/12/17 06:33:28, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(510)
  ost15 (0.0.0.0) closed connection to service tmobley

I can recreate this one pretty easily.  I can go to the samba server
(RedHat 5.2 Linux Samba version 2.0.0Beta4) and type:

smbclient //gate/virus
Added interface ip=192.168.1.1 bcast=192.168.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
Password: <password here>
Domain=[REID] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.0.0beta4]
smb: \> quit

When I look at the log for the machine gate, I get:
[1998/12/18 08:38:03, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection(484)
  gate (192.168.1.1) connect to service virus as user btenison (uid=500,
gid=100) (pid 2
3251)
[1998/12/18 08:38:17, 1] smbd/service.c:close_cnum(510)
  gate (0.0.0.0) closed connection to service virus

Not a major problem, but a curious one...
