[TriLUG] General message question

[Joseph Tate]

I frequently receive a samba message to my console that I can safely ignore. Problem is that it's frequent enough to be annoying (like when I'm in a vi session), so I'd like to redirect it to /dev/null or some place equally innocuous. I know that /etc/syslog.conf is a good place to start, but I don't know what level of message it is, or even if it's actually a kernel message not a samba message. So my question is, what is the best way to find out what kind of message it is so that I can redirect it using syslog? I've included a sample of the messages below.

smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid
smb_retry: successful, new pid=854, generation=26
smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid
smb_retry: successful, new pid=1485, generation=33
smb_trans2_request: result=-104, setting invalid
smb_retry: successful, new pid=1509, generation=35


This is when the Windows machine that has the open share times out the connection(smb_trans2_request), and the linux machine tries to access data on the share(smb_retry).

Thanks for your help,
Joseph
