I was wondering any legitimate cause for this? sounds like someone has setup one of the zillion 'who is running a samba server on our network' cgi things. they are almost all icky. at jmu, i get around 15 probes a minute from these things. i don't want to count how many times a milisecond i get probed by the 7500 machines on the single subnet i am attached to. (yes, 7500 machines on one subnet, almost all of them using M$ networking, and very few of them actually using the wins server.) -b To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-security" in the body of the message
