samba - Oct 2001 - Samba 2.2.2 and logfiles

I'm having trouble with the logging in Samba 2.2.2.  I usually specify
the name of the logfile on the command line (e.g., "nmbd -D -l
/path/to/logfiles").  This used to work with Samba 2.2.1a but does not
work anymore with Samba 2.2.2.  I could not find anything about changes
to the logging mechanisms in the 2.2.2 announcement, so I am wondering
what's wrong here.  Specifying "log file = filename" in smb.conf
seems
to work, but then the log file contains less information older versions
used to have.

Hi Jens,

	I have compiled 2.2.2 version this morning and I have no problem with
logfiles. Option -l /var/log/samba is placing them there as always. Check
configure parameters regardindg localstatedirs I think, make clean and
recompile. Looks like there shouldn't be no problem.

Cheers!

After I switched to logging via syslog I could see in the logfiles what
was wrong. :-)

2.2.1a would allow me to use something like "nmbd -D -l /var/log/log"
(which would write to /var/log/log.nmb) whereas 2.2.2 does not allow
this.  So I just put the files elsewhere and set symbolic links to the
old places.
