I was browsing through KControl and later saw the following messages in the xsession-errors log: Load smb config files from /dev/null Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE I think the messages should be prefixed with something like [kcontrol] so users know what was accessing the samba configuration files. As a general guideline, I believe any stdout or stderr message Trinity generates in this manner should contain some clue about what generated the message. In these days of script kiddies and malicious users, a simple prefix like that will quiet fears. Darrell
