Can you have hard link or symbolically link one (or more) log files to
another?
I use perl to split up and restructure log file entries- not for the
samba logs tho.
It looks like samba can send messages to syslog. If you use "syslog-ng"
you have a lot of flexibility for logging events based of
host/service/text strings to whatever file(s) you want.

Hi,
I would like to look at a logfile containing simple summary lines like
this:
timestamp - client ip - user - action (eg. login, connect to a share) -
result (ok, password wrong, permission denied, io error, etc)
I find log.smb and log.nmb very complicated and smbaudit too; also i would
like to have all this information in a single log gile.
How can I achieve this? Is there any native samba combination of options in
smb.conf that can result in achieving this type of log? Can (and how?) I
configure samba in such a way that some external tools can parse and extract
this information from logfiles?
thank you
I'd like to see this too, but I don't think it's possible. I have wasted
several hours when debugging samba problems and dealing with
hard-to-read logfiles. But there is no way to configure logging except
for the amount (log level) and destination.
It may help a bit to use substitutions in the log file destinations, so
e.g.using "log file = /var/log/samba/log.%I.%U" in your smb.conf will
create one log file per client and user on the server, like
/var/log/samba/log.10.0.0.24.bob for user bob on client 10.0.0.24.
Still, it's sometimes difficult to get actions and results sorted out.
Bye,
Andreas
