Hello Volker,

It is not a critical error, just extremely annoying. I will wait for
the next port release of FreeBSD and test it. I will announce the
result, so stay tuned ...

Oh b.t.w. I notice the following directory on the samba server:

drwx------   2 root     wheel     512 Mar  1 10:57 fam-root

I have also seen the willy equivalent called fam-willy, but that one
disappeared. For the other users I have never noticed such a directory.
I have the feeling that error stems from the fact that there should be
a fam-user directory for every domain user and not only one owned by
root. But maybe I mistake and has this nothing to do with it at all.
