firewall log issues because of samba


Hello people. I'm not really sure whats going on here, I have backup files copied from win machines to a linux box on a regular basis, however on the box every time it runs a samba mount and copy script the processes klogd and syslog-ng start using up alot of proccessing power.

The samba mount copies fine but the log processes are writing to the /var/log/firewall log and the file becomes out of hand huge, like gigabytes huge. It seems that I havent given proper access to the mounts on the server and it's spewing out with errors but still seems to work fine.

Any ideas what files/access I need to change?
