I am currently running Samba 3.0.28.0 from rpm on FC6. I have the following in smb.conf: log level = 2 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log Yet, when I start the daemons, I get log.%m: drwx------ 4 root root 4096 Feb 12 06:55 . drwxrwxr-x 17 root bin 4096 Feb 12 05:02 .. drwx------ 4 root root 4096 Feb 8 2007 cores -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4269 Feb 12 06:55 log.nmbd -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 872 Feb 12 06:55 log.smbd drwx------ 2 root root 12288 Feb 10 05:00 old -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 569 Feb 12 06:55 smbd.log I checked for multiple smb.conf files and the init script for anything that might indicate a log setting but keep coming up just scratching my head. Does anyone have any light to shed on where the log.%m keeps coming from? Is this something that can be compiled into the package that is not over-ridden by the conf? Thanks in advance for any hints on this. I know it's a little thing but it's driving me nuts... Ed . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Try this: 'grep -Ri "\%m" /etc/ /usr/local/'
