Interesting actually. I had not thought about this.
Is it possible to have more than one type of log?
Lets say I want to have:

log file = /var/log/smb/log.%U ---this will tell me when a user logged onto 
their account as well as logged off, correct?
Also, i have this in my smb.conf:

log file = /var/log/smb/log.%m

Which, gathers machine information.

What I was curious about is i'd like to setup my logging so I can see any 
potential problems with machines, and also set up logging so I can view 
when people logged onto the domain as well as logging off the domain.

Any recommendations? Or what would work best?

Thanks.

Jason

Hello!

I forgot to say that you can use the command last with these files:

[root@srv03 log]# last -f /var/log/wtmpx
pereti   smb/5        10.1.1.110        Thu Aug 14 08:15   still logged in
pereti   smb/5        10.1.1.110        Thu Aug 14 08:02 - 08:13  (00:11)
aluno    smb/9        10.1.1.113       Thu Aug 14 07:33 - 07:37  (00:03)
aluno    smb/9        10.1.1.113       Thu Aug 14 07:33 - 07:33  (00:00)
aluno    smb/8        10.1.1.114       Thu Aug 14 07:33 - 07:36  (00:03)
aluno    smb/7        10.1.1.112        Thu Aug 14 07:32   still logged in

and last -f /var/log/utmpx will show who are still logged in, almost the
same output than smbstatus -b

These is the only 2 files created here, I don?t know if you can create one
per user.
