Joe Pfaltzgraff@PATAPSCO 05/02/2001 02:41 PM I posted this once before but no one replied, I'm hoping I'll get a reply. I'm not sure if I'm messing some little thing up, if this is an error or what... I invoke smbd and nmbd with the command: nmbd -D -d 1 -l /var/samba/log/nmbd (substitute nmbd with smbd for smbd) smbd works fine, it creates a log file named 'smbd'. nmbd on the other hand appends a '.nmb' to the file name, so it creates a log file named 'nmbd.nmb' no matter what name I use, it appends the '.nmb' I've done this on two systems now with the same results. What's going on here? Thanks! Joe Pfaltzgraff
Joe, This is a grammer flaw. The source for nmbd automatically appends the .nmb, where smbd doesent.

It would appear that the code for nmbd is hardwired to append the .nmb extension when the command line log file redirection is invoked. [DO NOT QUOTE ME ON THIS, I DO NOT KNOW THE DETAILS] Simply my observation. Some of the code gurus on the list should know. Good luck. -- David Rankin Nacogdoches, Texas
