In your smb.conf [globals]:

	log file = /var/log/samba/%m

Will create a separate log file for each workstation.

	max log size = 0

Means let it grow adinfinitum.

	syslog = 0

Means do not log to syslog.

	log level = 1

Should be verbose enough to track anything useful and keep the per
workstation log from growing too rapidly.


Really suggest you try your hand at reading the man page for smb.conf:

	man smb.conf
