Dear Red Hatters, A user commented that he had been trying to "log in" to our Samba server and couldn't. I thought, "Gee...I didn't notice any failed logins..." I checked under /var/log/samba/<host>.log and, behold, a multitude of authentication failures!
Although I hadn't configured syslog = 2, which would be necessary to get these debug level 1 messages, I noticed then that I'm not getting _any_ syslog output from samba. An examination of the samba.spec from samba-2.2.1a-4.src.rpm shows that the --with-syslog configuration option is not being used. Is there a good reason for this? (I don't know who the package maintainer is, but he's likely to be connected to this list somehow.) Is it because the use of --with-syslog would include "experimental SYSLOG support," as the configure script says? What is experimental about it? I'd like to modify the samba.spec and rebuild the binary RPMS, but I'm wondering if there is a good reason not to use syslog with Samba. Thanks, Jonathan -- / Jonathan R.
