So to clarify for the newbies, this breaks down to "This isn't a
problem?" We just need to tell our sysloggers to ignore it? Are the errors
catagorized as something like afpd.error or something similar that we can
configure our syslogs to ignore? I don't want to miss other errors, or
have my console window so full of this information that I miss others. If
and when the change is made in the CVS, will someone post here, so I can
test that new version?
Great to hear that this isn't a problem. I've been drooling to let my
users at this fileserver for awhile, and this was the last stumbling
block. Don't worry, I'll tell them it's still in testing.
Thanks,
-Karen
