This works correctly. Thw two log files is by design. No
way to override this. As far as the smb.conf parameter,
[smbd|nmbd] will write to the compile time default until
the config file is parsed. It's a chicken and egg problem.

smbcontrol is for sednign messages to smbd and nmbd
proceses.

Our domain group support is a little incomplete at the moment.
