Hi I have setup user auditing with extd_audit and its working fine , i have it logging to log file = /var/log/samba/%U.%m.log and that is great for identifying the users and machines ...But the syslog entries don't have a username or host information and I want to use syslog to ship the logs to a central logging server.

I?ve got a situation with my Macs connecting to a Linux server via SMB where files/folders are randomly getting deleted from the server. The server logs are showing that a Mac is deleting them, but I know for a fact that it?s not human error, as my users are very vigilant in that regard, and the files/folders have no correlation to each other.Is there anyway of finding out how/why my Macs are

Hi all, I had implemented on one of my shares vfs full_audit module. It was working with Samba 3.0.x without any problems. After migration to Samba 3.4.3 this function doesn't work anymore - when it's enabled then share isn't accessible from users (it's visible but getting error when trying to connect to it). Audit and extd_audit vfs's are working fine, but they

Hey List, I was wondering if and how one would go about tracking file activity on a Samba server, for basic auditing purposes. I'd ideally like to see what files where edited, by whom and when. I've done some RTFM and a bit of searching around the 'net, but haven't found anything yet. Even pointers to documentation on the subject would be welcome. Thanks in advance for

Hello, I'm using Samba 3.0.7, and I'd like to keep logs of open/delete/etc. files, to be able to tell which user accessed a particular file at a certain moment, and so on. Samba logs are a bit confusing for this purpose. I thought the audit VFS module was best suited for the task, but I encountered some problems: 1. it does not clearly report which user did each action. Ok, it reports

Hi all, I'm using Samba 3.0.14a on Debian Sarge. According to Samba HOWTO, I've set syslog = 0 to make extd_audit module writes to log.smbd instead of syslog, but in log.smbd only 1 line about creating new folder was written. How do I make extd_audit module works as HOWTO document? Below is my smb.conf file: ################################################# [global] server string = %h

Hello, Some mischief happened and I have been asked if I can find out who was logged into their computers within a specific off-hours time frame. My logs for that time frame happened to be running at debug level 3, so I have been looking through them and trying to figure out how to recognize a workstation login. I find lines beginning with auth_check_password_send that seem like reasonably good
