            Bug ID: 221677
           Summary: Samba_server needs method to turn off unwanted
                    messages
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: scratch65535 at att.net

Apparently when there is more than one Samba server within the same ip subnet,
and also, possibly, when there's only one server but it has more than one nic
port, even if not in use, every 5 minutes the following message is
logged/written to console:

"query name response:  Multple [n] responses received for query on subnet [this
ip address] for name [netbios group name].  This response was from [other ip
address]  reporting an address of [you guessed it: its own address]"

That's not the only low-, no-, or negative-value message being emitted, but I'd
bet folding money that it's the worst of them.  

These messages have been a problem for years, judging by the complaints on the
net, but as yet the problem seems not to have been solved even though the
effort required *should* be trivial, e.g. list the messages in the .conf file
together with the interval in minutes desired, 0 being "as needed" and -1 being
"if I ever see that @#$%! message again you'll regret you were ever compiled!".
