Samba log message

[Alan Jackson]

Okay, I turned on encryption on my wireless (yeah, yeah, I know) and the
messages stopped. So I guess one of my neighbors may have been hacked or
infected or??? 

Here's a good story. My son, a new college freshman in EE, was home 
for Labor day weekend. While he was visiting friends, I started up 
the encryption. He got back late, so it was the next afternoon that 
I saw him on his bed with his laptop. "I need to give the our network 
password, I enabled encryption" I noted to him. He replied with a smile,
"No need. I cracked it. Only took me an hour. I downloaded the new gentoo
CD and that gave me plenty of packets."

I felt very proud, and a little uneasy.....
