For quite a while now, I have been receiving vast numbers of these 
messages in my log files.

I do not see any other problems with samba, but it is annoying, and I am 
sure it means that something is not set up quite correctly.

However, I have tried to follow suggestions found on the web for similar 
problems and nothing seems to have made any difference.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks in advance,
Michael
