Description Andreas Schneider 2020-01-27 13:59:09 UTC 
If you install Samba (client) without running smbd at least one and use only the client part, it will produce several messages when connecting to a share:


smbclient //10.0.136.215/testshare/ -Usmbuser%smbuser
directory_create_or_exist: mkdir failed on directory /var/lib/samba/lock/msg.lock: Permission denied
ctory /var/lib/samba/lock/msg.lock: Permission denied

The reason is that those are logged as warnings, but smbclient sets the log level to 1 by default!
