Repeating entries in log.nmb and log.smb

[mdgabrie at collins.rockwell.com]

I'm running Samba on my Sun ultra 1 with Solaris 2.6 and have noticed that
my log.nmb file is growing tremendously. In addition, my log.smb is also
growing but not quite as fast.

The log.nmb has the following entries repeating every few seconds.  Since
3/18/99, my log.nmb file has grown to be 22mb.

The repeating entries in log.smb are similar:

[1999/06/11 10:35:10, 1] smbd/server.c:(614)
  smbd version 2.0.0 started.

  smbd version 2.0.0 started.

What is happening (beside the fact I'm running out of disc space)? I do not
yet have more than 2 - 3 people utilizing Samba. I am connected to an
intranet with 1,000 PCs running NT4.0 sp4 supported by about 4 NT servers
and 20 Novell 4.something servers, all running at 100mb.

Any help is appreciated.
