When diagnosing a problem, Samba developers are likely to request a level 10 log file.
There are different reasons for creating client specific log files:
- If the error appears only on specific clients and you won't change the config for all clients.
- If you're running Samba with many clients level 10 logs can fill your disk space very fast and slow down your system.
Create a new config file /etc/samba/smb.conf.client-debug
[global] # no log file size limitation max log size = 0 # specific log file name log file = /var/log/samba/log.%I # set the debug level log level = 10 # add the pid to the log debug pid = yes # add the uid to the log debug uid = yes # add the debug class to the log debug class = yes # add microsecond resolution to timestamp debug hires timestamp = yes
Add the following line to your smb.conf at the end of the global section
include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.client-%I
To activate level 10 logging for e.g. client 192.168.0.123 create a symbolic link:
ln -s /etc/samba/smb.conf.client-debug /etc/samba/smb.conf.client-192.168.0.123
You do not have to restart all of Samba. If the client 192.168.0.123 connects to your samba the smbd includes the /etc/samba/smb.conf.client-192.168.0.123 config file and writes the debug information to /var/log/samba/log.192.168.0.123. These changes will have no effect to other clients except 192.168.0.123. For additional clients you can simply create additional symlinks.
Afterwards make sure to run
# smbcontrol PID reload-config
...so the client picks up the changes done above.
Alternatively, for changing the log level temporary you can use smbcontrol runtime.
# set debug level for all smbd smbcontrol smbd debug 10 # set debug level for process with pid 12345 smbcontrol 12345 debug 10 # request debug level for process with pid 12345 smbcontrol 12345 debuglevel
