Package: samba Version: 3.0.24-6 Severity: minor Running "netstat -tap" in my environment showed many connections being fielded by smbd, some probably many weeks old.
The default configuration revealed that Samba was sending keepalive messages even though the connections didn't ask for anything that existed (and failed authentication---they are mostly browser requests and maybe worms). Adding "deadtime = 1" to /etc/samba/smb.conf kept the netstat table manageable. A value of 5 may be more appropriate for general use. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
