A "me too". There definitely appears to be a problem with "%u" expansion.

Under 2.0 series, I set the log files as:

log file = /var/adm/samba/%u@%m-%M-%a.log

The was cool as I'd get nice logfiles like
"jhaar at ntwks-i.p.addr.ess-Samba.log"

Now that produces:

"%u at ntwks-i.p.addr.ess-Samba.log" 


This also affects "%U".

This is 2.2.0 under Redhat 6.2
