samba - Feb 2025 - what diagnostic messages most need improving?

Hi Douglas,
my "favorite" is "prefork_child_pipe_handler: Parent 720, Child
827 exited with status 0" (out of systemctl status samba-ad-dc) that
doesn?t show what child/deamon exited.
Cheers,
Joachim

thanks.

I think here we can include the service name, and avoid logging
at level 0 when the return status is 0.

Any more?
