Information about smb.log

[John N S Gill]

I'm afraid the only reliable way is to get a copy of the source code.
The good news is samba is open source :)

Many of the messages in the log files are a bit cryptic, you can 
usually get a good idea of what it is doing, but finding out exactly 
what the problem may well involve looking at the source.

You can also use debug in the config file (see man page for smb.conf)
to control the amount written to logs, making it more verbose might 
help.

The other good bit of news is these messages at least include the 
source file name and line number that is responsible for the message.
