New squawk in logwatch report?

New squawk in logwatch report?

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

Running 2.6.15-rc7, uptime 6d 23:43 atm.
Going thru the systems email output, I note this in the logwatch file, 
something I don't recall seeing previously:
 --------------------- Kernel Begin ------------------------ 

WARNING:  Kernel Errors Present
   smb_lookup: find contrib/ircstats2 failed, error=-5...:  1 Time(s)
   smb_proc_readdir_long: error=-2, breaking...:  2 Time(s)
   smb_proc_readdir_long: error=-5, breaking...:  1 Time(s)
   smb_proc_readdir_long: error=-512, breaking...:  1 Time(s)

 ---------------------- Kernel End -------------------------

Does anyone have a clue?  Other than its samba related, I have no clue.

Cheers, Gene

I have no idea really, but I think samba is having problems finding
the ircstats2 file/dir. Seems like that comes in contrib with mrtg.

Other than that some googling suggests it might also be due to an
incorrect/unreachable wins server specified in smb.conf.

mrtg is installed, but my router doesn't support it.  The cron job was 
stopped when I reverted from what I'd call a dane bramaged router that 
did support mrtg to a good one that didn't.  I spent a month screwing 
around, talking to tech support, flashing it with this and that test 
firmwares, etc and finally gave it up.  ANY router I can't ping and 
traceroute through is IMO drain bamaged.  A BEFSR41 Just Works(TM), 
but none of the vpn supporting models does.

No wins servers here, or defined in smb.conf on any of the 3 machines 
here.

If its repeated again in the logwatch for today, I'll investigate 
further.  And it is not.  The 3rd machine isn't currently smbmounted, 
nor does the script that refreshes the mounts every night mention the 
3rd box.  Its not always up, its out in the workshop, and runs my 
milling machine.  A Brain Dead Install of emc, running the dec 31 cvs 
version of emc2.  Sweet.

Thanks HK.  Have a better 2006.
