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.

I fully agree. However, after some thorough searching, it appears that the Samba messages are all being generated from libsmb, a third party library used for Samba integration that is not part of Trinity. I don't know of any way to silence the messages; perhaps a bug should be reported to libsmb?
