SMB error (solved)

[gm4jjj]

I kept getting these messages in SMB logfile:

[1970/01/01 01:01:59.449405, 0] param/loadparm.c:7969(lp_do_parameter)
Ignoring unknown parameter "disable poolss"

I found a spelling mistake in smb.conf , corrected it as below and no more entries in the logfile.

root@meteohub-rpi:/etc/samba# cat smb.conf
# generated by meteohub
printcap name = /dev/null
load printers = no
printing = bsd
[global]
workgroup = HOME
security = user
log file = /data/log/smb.log
max log size = 50
dns proxy = no
disable spoolss = yes
[public]
comment = Meteohub Data

public = yes

printable = no
force user = root
force group = root

thank you, great finding, will add that to the next distribution.

I know this is an old post but the current Meteohub software 5.1D build 270 still has this fault which is tedious in having to clear the log every few days. I tried to screen shot the error but this did not work.

I think you’re out of luck. It appears that the Meteohub platform is EOL ( end of life ) and that Boris is not really updating or improving it any longer.

That is a shame but thanks for your reply

Have you tried editing the smb.conf file as per the original post and see if that fixes the error ?.

/well that was a trial but I think I have got there. Just edited the file in question (nano) and now will wait to see if the SMB error log keeps on filling.
