Hello, I run Konfabulator under OS X 10.3.7 with a proxy connection to the internet and I use an IP address identifier widget. It shows from time to time incoming and outgoing traffic on a Samba server(s). This appearance is extremely brief. I don�t know anything about Samba and have never knowingly used it on my machine. Can you fill me in on this? Is this malicious activity?
Mac OS X as you probably know is based on a version of *NIX. Therefore it runs Samba (windows OS file sharing & printing ++ software), albeit a nastily hacked up version according to some team members. Do you have windows file sharing turned on? If you don't need it, turn it off and firewall those ports. Do you access windows servers? Perhaps this software of yours is reporting both types of windows file sharing servers as "Samba". Without knowing what your environment is probably no one can answer that question about it being malicious activity.....
