[Samba] samba log files/directory not found

[Hans Graudenz]

Hi all,

Installed samba-2.2.5 in /usr/local/samba under Solaris 8 (NIS+) by

../configure --prefix=/usr/local/samba --exec-prefix=/usr/local/samba
--with-acl-support

Although I defined
log file = /var/opt/samba/log.%m
in smb.conf I always get messages like following in
/usr/local/samba/var/log.smbd

[2003/02/11 17:08:27, 0] smbd/server.c:main(707)
  smbd version 2.2.5 started.

ls -ls /var/opt/samba
/var/opt/samba: No such file or directory

Have I to generate the directory /var/opt/samba by myself or should
samba do that?

Can anyone help me?
