[Samba] Listing samba 2.2.8a (redhat 8) verables to a text file

[Peter Atkin]

I have been using samba for a while now with great sucesses it has replaced my Windows 2000 server completely, I am using 
a mix of windows98, 2000 and XP with no problems.

However i would like to do two things, 

1) print samba veriables to a log file in a location of my choice
2) When a windows test user logs on, i would like to display a windowed dialog box showing the verious samba veriable 
stats.

Can this be down without melting my brain, I have tried verious options without much sucsess.

Just for refernace here is my current current smb.conf file.

# Computer Facilities
# currently and always under delvelopment using samba 2.2.8a on linux 8 
# /etc/samba/smb.conf
