          Aside from the obvious answer of: fix the issue and stop the logging :)



          You could use a dirty hack to have syslog write to a fifo (see mkfifo(1)) and have some program read from that fifo and write to your log file, but that's a real dirty hack.



          This one is a dirty hack, but less of a one. I hate a daemon running like that in the background reading from a fifo. I'd use syslog-ng instead of the standard syslog (probably rsyslog) that you're using.



          syslog-ng is a bit more of a learning curve, but worth it really. A directive something like:



          destination samba-log { program "/usr/local/bin/samba-ignore.sh"; };


          Then write a small shell script /usr/local/bin/samba-ignore.sh to read from STDIN and ignore (i.e. grep -v) out the lines you want and output to /var/log/samba.log or similar.



          Personally I'd do everything in my power to stop it logging that particular issue, including going to the source and figuring out what is wrong up to and including rolling my own RPM with a fix. But I'm OCD like that ;)
