I'm getting a LOT of lines in my log of the following sort of thing:

Should I be worried?
BTW I am running RedHat 5.0 and have the
netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.0a18.2-oa1.i386.rpm installed.
I am still getting the occasional corrupt Excel files on the server
(currently happening almost daily for some reason) that I have been
unable to track the source of and thought these messages may have
something to do with it.
Please DO NOT suggest that I check the CR/LF settings. If they were
wrong it would botch every file.
Often it is just a corrupted header to the file and can be fixed with a
nice hex editor and a cut/paste from a backup, but occasionally it is
worse and since backup tapes can run out of room, etc. I don't always
have a backup of the previous days work handy.
This is REALLY starting to get annoying as I have little option of what
to use as I need this share to be accesible from the Mac and PCs. :-(
I'm now hoping it is the one particular users Mac that is the problem.
Thanks for ANY help,
Jonathan
