I didn't see a configure option for setting the log file location.  The
closest thing I found was 

  --with-syslog     Include experimental SYSLOG support
  --without-syslog  Don't include SYSLOG support (default)

and since the syslog stuff was listed as experimental, I left it out
(besides, I hate having everything write log messages to /var/log/syslog -
it's much more organized to have each program write to its own log file).

Platform:  linux 2.2.17 SMP

I compiled Samba from source using the following configure options:

 ./configure --prefix=/opt/samba
             --with-lockdir=/var/lock  
             --with-configdir=/etc/samba
             --with-pam
             --with-profile

make; make install
