Samba "couldn't find service"


CentOS 5.2 / samba-3.0.28-0.el5.8

I'm getting lots of "couldn't find service" errors. I had:

[data]
path = /data
read only = no
public = yes
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
force user = nfsnobody
force group = nfsnobody
guest ok = yes

The netbios name is stb-data, and it was complaining about "couldn't
find service stb-data". I changed the stanza to:

[stb-data]
path = /data
comment = STB Group file server
read only = no
public = yes
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
force user = nfsnobody
force group = nfsnobody
guest ok = yes

And now I get "couldn't find service data" Everything seems to work OK,
but I get dozens of lines about this, and it would be nice to just not
have to see them. How do I get rid of the "couldn't find service"
errors?

If you have netbios name and a share using the same name, are you sure this isn't the source of your problem?

I have no idea. They had different names and I had a problem. Then they have the same name and I have a different problem.

I was hoping someone who knew would have a moment to share the answer... ;-)
