This box runs samba in order to serve up a public directory. I'm seeing many lines in Logwatch that do not appear in the main server Logwatch, and trying to understand what is causing them. I find this puzzling, for instance: nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_query_request(454) process_name_query_request: Name query from 192.168.0.80 on subnet 192.168.0.70 for name LYDGATE.LAN<1d> : 91 Time(s) 192.168.0.70 is this box, and 192.168.0.80 was active for a considerable time yesterday, but "on subnet 192.168.0.70" sounds odd? There are other lines that seem to suggest that it is trying to connect to a windows active domain. There is a W2K box on the lan, for which I have no access, so can't answer for its configuration, but again, I don't see any such lines on the main server Logwatch. Both boxes have Logwatch set to level Low. I've tried googling, but although I've found dozens of entries with similar phrases, none that I've read so far seem to fit my circumstances. What I really need now is some suggestions for troubleshooting this. I know I could just ignore them, but among all that crud there could be hiding something that I need to see, but would miss. Anne
