samba - Nov 2006 - Request for Feature: Debug IP List

Hi,
 
It would be very useful to have a parameter(s) that allows a list of IP
addresses, for which verbose debugging takes place.  This would be
extremely helpful for tracking odd cases that do not occur consistently,
and for troubleshooting machine-specific issues.
 
example smb.conf entries:
 
debug ip list level = 10
debug ip list = 192.168.0.151 192.168.0.136
 
Ideally this would be available at a share definition level, but global
would be good too.
 
Unless there's something I'm missing in the doc and google, current
logging occurs at the indicated "log level" for all shares, all IPs.
 
An example of another product where this has worked well for me is the
CommuniGate groupware server and I crave this type of debugging for my
current Samba issues.
 
Thank you.

Can't you do this with an include in your smb.conf ?

For exampple, in the global section :

include = /usr/local/samba/lib/ip_debug_%I.conf

and the create the file containing the line :

log level = 10

associated with the IP addresses you want more
debugging on ?
