Smb specialists,
I did some tests inside test server using Samba 2.2.8a. I used the below configuration:
_____________________________________________________________________________
# ../bin/testparm -x -L pscdv001 ../lib/smb.conf | more
Load smb config files from ../lib/smb.conf
Processing section "[DVfcsload]"
Processing section "[rodrigo]"
Processing section "[ipc$]"
Loaded services file OK.

From my desktop I mapped the SHARE [rodrigo] and I have no problems to access it. Therefore, analysing the logs files, specifically the client log file in the server, I saw some weird messages:
...
[2005/03/15 18:04:18, 0] lib/access.c:check_access(333)
Denied connection from (187.10.16.216)

...
The weird thing is that this messages are logged only when I open some file inside the shared directory from samba. Using "windows explorer", I mapped the share associating a driver letter and using on the server the command "tail -f log.client". At the moment of openning file, a tenth of this messages are logged. The IP address showed is the IP of my Desktop and the open file operation is sucedeed without any error messages from windows. See also that in the smb.conf file, on the SHARE [rodrigo] I put a explicit configuration that allow my host 187.10.16.216 to access that SHARE.
Why these messages are logged ?? What is wrong inside my configuration ?? Is wrong ?
Tks in advance,
