I don't know the cause for this Messages.
Here my smb.conf:

[global]
         ; speed optimierungen
         socket options = TCP_NODELAY
         share modes = no
         debug level = 0
         getwd cache = yes
         preserve case = yes

         encrypt passwords = no
         printing = cups
         printcap name = cups
         printcap cache time = 750
         cups options = raw
         smb ports = 139
         local master = no

         ; ----- same as "umask 2"
         create mask = 0775
         ; ----- disconnect after N minutes inactive
         dead time = 300
         ; ----- check whether clients are alive [seconds]
         keep alive = 300
         ; ----- may delete readonly files
         delete readonly = yes
         ; ----- logfiles grow up to N kByte
         max log size = 100
         ; ----- don't map archive bit to execute bit
         map archive = no
         ; ----- "umask 2" setting for files and directories
         create mask = 0775
         directory mask = 0775
         ; ----- do NOT use oplocks
         oplocks = false
         ; ----- WINS support
         wins support = yes
         preferred master = yes
         os level = 32
         ;
         wins server = gate
         name resolve order = wins host bcast
         security = user
==========================================
The Network is small, only the suse 10.2, a WIN-XP Professional an a 
Network printer.

Does anybody know what causes this messages?

Regards

Daniel
