Hi, I never thought I would need to change the default log file path, but I had and found a bug.
When changing my default "log file" from /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m to /usr/local/samba/var/log/log.%m there are always files created in the "default compiled" log directory /usr/local/samba/var when nmbd and smbd start. The following ls are right after doing a "stop" and "start": # ls -l /usr/local/samba/var drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Sep 25 15:23 locks drwx------ 2 root root 512 Sep 25 15:21 log -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 478 Sep 25 15:23 log.nmbd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 140 Sep 25 15:23 log.smbd # ls -l /usr/local/samba/var/log -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 80 Sep 25 15:11 log.nmbd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 25 15:11 log.smbd Timestamp of files in /usr/local/samba/var are more recent cuz "nmbd/smbd" didn't write _yet_ in the other files located in /usr/local/samba/var/log .
