Try:

        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        debug pid = yes
        log level = 1
        max log size = 5000

Then restart Samba. This will create a separate logfile for every
machine. Of course the destination folder must exist.


But your configuration should at least give you one logfile, where
everything is logged into.


Regards,
Marc
