[opensuse] Error should be sent to WINS server
I have a SLED installation which is getting a significant flow of messages out of nmdb like the following: Feb 12 18:29:15 haight nmbd[16933]: [2007/02/12 18:29:15, 0] nmbd/nmbd_incomingrequests.c:process_name_refresh_request(172) Feb 12 18:29:15 haight nmbd[16933]: process_name_refresh_request: unicast name registration request received for name CADTECH<00> from IP 192.168.0.226 on subnet UNICAST_SUBNET. I don't have a wins server, and samba is not configured to be one. Its a single subnet, and I've never needed a wins server in such cases. Samba is not configured as a domain controller either as its a simple work group server. How can I stop these messages, and why is it that this is the only network I manage that is generating these? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

What OS is on 192.168.0.226? Apparently this particular machine is trying to contact a WINS server. If it is a Windows box see http://www.microsoft.com/technet/network/evaluate/technol/tcpipfund/tcpipfun... to see every place to check for a WINS configuration. If computer 192.168.0.226 was not using WINS (which it must be), then you would get a BROADCAST message, not a UNICAST. - James W. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

They are all XP Pro, freshly installed by Dell. Wins seems to be implied in that installation although i've never needed it. It might be simpler to turn it on just to keep the logging down. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

Or create a registry key that disables WINS, then import that key on each machine. If Remote Registry is enabled you could do it over the network. If not you could do it by diskette, auto-run CD, usb drive, or whatever fits the bill. Good luck, James W. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
