All,
Fairly new to SAMBA, have got 3 SAMBA servers running on AIX4.3.3 sharing jfs
filesystems to 95,98,NT and W2K boxes.
I use it fairly simply, the just map the share required, using windows
explorer. One of the boxes, I've tried to set up as a homes server. smb.conf
is as follows;
[global]
workgroup = XXXX
netbios name = CMPSP1CW
security = SERVER
encrypt passwords = Yes
password server = xx.xx.xx.xx
log file = /usr/local/samba/log/log.%U
max log size = 3000
[homes]
comment = Home-Directory
read only = No
create mask = 0750
browseable = No
It's being working fine, but I thought I'd try to log what each user
was doing. So I added the 2 log parameters you can see to my [global] section.
This created 3 zero length files in the log dir. I then connected to a share and
another 2 files were created;
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 0 Jan 25 14:14 log.bowencr1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 0 Jan 25 14:15 log.shephed1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 0 Jan 25 14:15 log.swainli1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 0 Jan 25 14:16 log.
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 0 Jan 25 14:16 log.nobody
My questions are;
1. Why was nothing logged to log.shephed1 when I connected?
2. What is log. and log.nobody?
TIA
