hi all,


am referring to the latest CVS source, updated on Oct 8, 98 on a
solaris2.5.1 machine.
the server is running superb, and acting as the primary domain for 95
and 98 machines.
great job folks. this is awesome indeed.

while compiling, i used the --with-syslog option and now samba sends
everything to /var/adm/messages. the server is running with the default
debug level..i havent specified anything.

is there  a way to make smbd and nmd stop logging to syslog, even though
they are compiled with that option, other than reconfiguring and
recompiling?

i would like to avoid recompiling, since i have to compile on one
machine, then install it, tar it up and move it to my server machine,
which doesnt have the compilers installed.


also, i know that the samba NTDOMAIN version is still in an experimental
stage.... and hence the debug level is of great use to you guys. but as
a user, wanting to know more about whats going, rather than seeing so
many lines of debug info, are there any plans to increase logging level,
which gives more verbose and legible info about whats going on? i mean
lines like 
[1998/10/08 11:46:59, 10] lib/genrand.c:(93)
  do_dirrand: value from file /dev/audio.
[1998/10/08 11:46:59, 10] lib/genrand.c:(93)
  do_dirrand: value from file /dev/audioctl.
[1998/10/08 11:46:59, 10] lib/genrand.c:(93)

are of use to you developers, but not to us. i hope you understand what
i'm trying to convey here. make logged stuff, more user readable, not
just developer readable.


thanks,

amol
