Hi scratch,

I recommend asking your question about how these messages can be turned off
on the samba mailing list. For best results, you probably want to leave out
commentary like "worthless messages" and stick to the facts (not that I
disagree with you, just might encourage more discussion).

If you don't get much of a response, you could try raising an upstream
samba bug report:

Good luck!
