How to remove "Denied connection from" from /var/log/messages?

Hi,

I only allow a handful of computers on my LAN to access the Samba
server. It appears that some of the WinXP computers are routinely
trying to see if there are any valid shares on my Samba server. I see
lots of these entries in /var/log/messages

[2004/07/18 04:33:16, 0] lib/access.c:check_access(328)
Denied connection from (123.123.123.123)

Is there anything I can do to configure samba to not log these denied
connections?

Thanks,
John

John - A couple ideas...

Set the XP wkss IP in the hosts.deny section of smb.conf
or
set an IPtablesd rule to drop that range of addresses
