I cannot find this file. I did the following steps:
- Stopped the samba deamon
- Removed all the logging from the /var/log/samba directory
- Started the samba deamon
- Tried to join the domain again

nemo:/var/log/samba# ls -la
total 16
drwxr-x---    2 root     adm          4096 Dec 16 18:42 .
drwxr-xr-x    6 root     root         4096 Dec 16 06:25 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         3548 Dec 16 18:43 log.nmbd
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          663 Dec 16 18:42 log.smbd

But when i try to access the server itselve by entering 
\\ipnumber-samba-machine in start > run  this file is created.
    nemo:/var/log/samba# cat log.shared-pc
    [2003/12/16 18:48:41, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(458)
      Closing connections
    [2003/12/16 18:48:41, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(458)
      Closing connections
    [2003/12/16 18:48:41, 2] smbd/server.c:exit_server(458)
      Closing connections

I tried to join the domain again at this point, but no changes are made 
to the logging while im doing this

Are there things i have to test before i want to join the domain?
