Package: samba
Version: 3.0.22-1
Severity: important
[global]
log file = /var/log/samba/%S.log
as described in Chapter 12 of the Using Samba guide to log for each
service (share) simply creates /var/log/samba/%S.log litterally and
doesnt parse it as a variable.
It is also stated in Chapter 6 table 6-8 pf the Using Samba guide that the log file string "Works with all variables."
which is directly inconsistant with Gerald Carter's reply to the post
Francis Strickland had made about this issue back in january on
lists.samba.org @
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-January/115979.html
its outlined in the Using Samba document both on samba.org and in the
samba-doc package in debian that this is suppose to work for creating
seperate logs for each share instead of for each client machine. This
should be considered a serious bug, but I have filed it as important
because it doesnt affect usability for all users. However the bug makes
the documentation invalid and for this reason it is every bit serious.
