Subject:   Samba4 needs switch to turn off messages

Whenever there is more than 1 Samba server running in the same
netbios space, they INCESSANTLY put out the same worthless
message every 5 minutes exactly, filling up disc space or
disrupting whatever's happening on the console.

The message always has the same form:

"query name response:  Multiple [n] reponses received on subnet
[this ip address] for name [netbios group name].  This response
was from [other ip address]."

This has been a problem for years, but  so far nobody seems to
know how to stop the damned things.  Log levels appear to have no
effect on them.

The server needs to have a switch to turn off such messages!

Preferably as a patch, distributed  s o o n.    

I'm just before lodging a bug report, because anyone trying to
construe that message as a feature would be likely to spend time
in hospital by reason of having herniated their imagination.
