[Solved] Samba error at service start

I have this lines printed to journal as error level at each service start, how can I solve?

[2022/01/09 09:50:11.166671,  0] ../../source3/smbd/server.c:1739(main)
  smbd version 4.15.3 started.

That isn't an error, it is just smbd announcing that it has started.

Re: [Solved] Samba error at service start

that's what I tought but I don't want it do be classified as error level in the journal, but as info, as every package do normally. I thinks that's some bug from the latest version and probably it will be addressed in the next update; but if that's not the case how can I disable this announce without disabling all the error level logs from samba's systemd service?

Don't log into the systemd journal - the startup message logs at level 0 for > 12 years, I don't expect that to change anywhen soon.

thank you for this insight, it seems that I was lacking crucial informations. At this point I think that's something that popped up with the big systemd 250 update. Will check out that way, thank you again for helping me!

Re: [Solved] Samba error at service start

follow up: I wasn't be able to fix that log, and only that log, to not show up in the journal as error so I recompiled the samba source code after modifying the code

/source3/smbd/server.c at line 1739 and 1740 from

        DEBUG(0,("smbd version %s started.\n", samba_version_string()));
        DEBUGADD(0,("%s\n", COPYRIGHT_STARTUP_MESSAGE));

to

        DEBUG(1,("smbd version %s started.\n", samba_version_string()));
        DEBUGADD(1,("%s\n", COPYRIGHT_STARTUP_MESSAGE));

this obviously fixed I wonder why that horror code is still in place for so long
